This happened to me before. This maybe happened because you use to many CD-ROM rather than DVD-ROM. The lens become unfamiliar with the DVD-ROM and then fails to read it. Thats why my father always ask me not to use the DVD-RW for things other than burning CDs. (and maybe why i have 2 dvd drives)\n\nOh yea. This happened at my notebook..

You may have to update or reinstall the driver.  Go to your device manager and find the name of your DVD rw and go through the troubleshooting process.  (assuming you have a PC not MAC)  Hope this gets you on the right track - \n\nPS Some HP's in the last year have had a defect that requirred factory attention relating to DVD drives - I could not find the info on their site - but it is worth asking a pro about.

Do you want to copy files to a DVD? You need to make sure you have the appropiate hardware first. Any specifications you can post about your computer?

if its new you could try re-installing it.  if its old maybe the laser is burned out.  maybe the dvd is not write-able.\nif you just bought it take it back to the store for an exchange.

Check for DVD Burner or if it is a Codec go to microsoft, do searches and try installing ones that you may need.

Does your PC have a DVD drive? If so, just put the miniDVD in, and copy and paste.\n\nIf not, it depends what kind of outputs your cam has. USB? 1394?

Save it as a movie (avi) file, and if your dvd can play avi files you should have solved the problem\n\nif your dvd cant play avi files, save it as mpeg and use a cd burning software to make a VCD that most dvd players can play.

Try removing it and reinstalling it.\n\nAlso look at the System Settings from the Control Panel.  Go to the hardware tab and see if the DVD is working properly and that there are no conflicts.  If everything is OK then it has probably just got corrupt and needs reinstalling.

Did you try to re-install the drivers? You probably have tried that. I have the exact thing that is wrong with my Sony PC, except on my Sony PC, I lost both CD & DVD devices--both are dead. I can only load the Recovery Disk from Sony & try to boot from there but it wants me to wipe everything out. I first need to back up before I go to such drastic measures. \n\nPS. I like above solution. In my case it didn't work but do try it. It probably will work for you since that is your error code.\n\nI don't have an answer yet, but the reason I answered here was to be able to let you know what to do when I get this ironed out. I might call Geeks on Call and if they repair & teach me something, I would be happy to share.\n\nSome thing I wanted to do. Contact the maker of the drives and get the files and download them & re-install. In my case, the CD & DVD drives do NOT have any support from the companies who made them. So, that path might be open to you. \n\nIf you have another working CD drive, can you reload or re-install drivers for the DVD? That is another avenue.\n\nLastly, maybe contact your PC maker and see if they can help you. My PC is four years old, so I didn't contact Sony. I was ready for a new PC, so I bought one. Eventually i will get the Sony fixed.\n\nNow, the reasons why you lost the DVD. Did you un-install some CD/DVD Creator or another third Party DVD software? I understand in my troubleshooting of my prob, I found out that one of these softwares upon uninstall as a bug disables XP from seeing the DVD. I uninstalled a CD program due to low disk space & I never figured that that would mess up my DVD/CD's. That was my problem.\n\nI hope that you can get it solved. If your PC company can supply you those drivers, I bet that you can solve this. In fact, I might even contact Sony for my own problem.\n\nGood luck!

If you have a DVD drive ( I assume you do) just use your windows media player...works flawless. Make sure you update it to the newest version so that you have the newest drivers and codecs available.

it can be the problem with that particular new dvd that you are trying to play on ur DVD-ROM, try some other dvds on it. u can use powerdvd 6.0, it is the best software available to play dvd.

When you install the software, do you reboot the computer? How many drives do you have? Check your program to see if you are loading the disc in the one it is expecting to see the blank disc in.\n\nI had a drive go bad and it didn't see anything. You can check that out by putting a program cd in and seeing if it opens or by going to my computer and looking.\n\nAlso, check out your hardware profiles. Look to see if it(the cd burner or reader) is being recognized and the drivers are working properly.

look frnd every computer has a motherboard and every motherboard has its cd too. so u just need to insert the cd in cdrom. now go to my computer, right click choose properties>hardware>hardware wizard. then do next...etc. it  will show u which device is not installed(mean dosnt have driver) and u can chose it and click next. then it will install the driver automatically.
