[QUOTE="Cheemag, post: 752430, member: 41456"] 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 [/QUOTE]
