Hi people, i have this amilo notebook and the problem is that the cd drive doesnt recognise any discs. the unit attempts to spin when a disc is inserted..but thats it!
all my windows updates...are up to date. I have looked in the device manager and it reports an ERROR CODE 10 under the cd drive. the driver reports no problem with this device, and i made sure i have the lastest driver for this unit. im running windows vista.
I have a sneaky suspicion the unit istself is damged?
Any futher checks i could make to prove this??
all suggestions gratefully received!
Heres what you need to do...
1. Click on START button, then click RUN
2. Type REGEDIT and press Enter
3. When REGEDIT starts, navigate to the following folder:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
4. Left click on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
**This then should have an entry at the top on the right saying 'DVD/CD-Rom Drives'**
5. In the right-hand pane, right click on the entry named "Lowerfilters", press Delete and hit Yes
6. In the right-hand pane, right click on the entry named "Upperfilters", press Delete and hit Yes
7. Close REGEDIT, shutdown and restart your PC
