Hello again,
Hope this is an appropriate forum.
My two Windows 10 Pro 21H1 machines suddenly lost the ability to read
DVD-ROM discs - both at around the same time.
They'll read anything else, but not DVD-ROM although both drive have
been used to write the very discs they now refuse to read. Both drive
are supposed to be DVD-ROM capable and have been happy with these discs
in the past.
I suspect an update, but haven't noticed anything other than security
updates recently. Both machines are fully up-to-date and Windows tells me
the drivers in place are the latest, although I suspect they are generic
MS drivers rather than those from the manufacturer.
The error I get is lack of any response in File Manager on clicking the
drive and 'drive not found' in my 2-pane Total Commander file tool.
Any ideas ? (These ROMs are slow, but can be written to directly without
the need of a burner programme. I'd hate to lose them).
Regards
Cheemag
