Hi all,
I am looking at an IBM Thinkpad for a work colleague, apparently the other day the DVD-ROM drive worked fine and could read CDs, now it can't. The drive spins up and makes some 'grunting' sounds then Windows gives an error: "Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format this is not compatible with Windows."
The drive is a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-C2512, I've Googled and found several other people with the same problem but don't seem to be able to find a solution.
I've used System Restore to roll back to two weeks ago before the problem but this hasn't helped. I have tried several CDs, ruling out the disc and I am told that the drive WAS working OK until some software or other was installed.
Can anyone help?
