Many times when we insert a disc in our CD/DVD drive, it can't read the data and shows error message. Same thing happens when we want to write data on a blank disc.
To fix these problems, Microsoft has released a new Fixit.
This new Fixit automatically diagnoses and repairs problems with your CD or DVD drive when trying to read or burn media.
What it fixes...
- Your CD or DVD Drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
- The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
- The media cannot be written to by your CD or DVD drive
- You receive one of the following errors:
- A class specific or device specific driver is missing or corrupt
- A CD or DVD drive cannot be found or is not connected
- The CD or DVD drive is experiencing a problem that prevents it from working properly
- The CD or DVD drive is not accessible via an assigned drive letter
You can download the Fixit using following link:

You have told us about quite a few Fixits lately VG. I was wondering, don't these come with Windows Update too? Thanks.

No. These Fixits don't come via Windows Updates. These are used only when a user faces the mentioned problem.

i didn't try it yet but it is disappointed that it needs internet connection in order to work. how about those people who want to try but they don't have internet connection? hope the require for internet connection should be fix.

^^ If it cant be detected in BIOS, there is some problem in hardware. You should ask a technician to check the drive.
