..and not surprisingly after installing yesterdays Win Update of coarse!
Yes, I've seen posts with the problem here before (looong time ago) and I've tried some of the suggestions, updating firmware, uninstall/reboot and system restore (the later never seems to work by the way).
Some suggest a hardware issue regarding the "lase pickup" on the DVD, which is basically where I'm at now. It does reads CD's all fine (or those I've tried anyway, including XP OS) and it did so - the vary second - before I let that stupid update get installed (which I apparently can't get rid of either).
Back then (referring to the older post) there was also a "fix" mentioned which I haven't tried. But them again, my D-drive is visible and and partly functional (which was this fix main address) so I don't think that will work - also considering it being several years old.
So anyone ells having seen this with the latest win update (or "malicious software removal tool", or whatever it called can't recall)?! Or how to reverse it? Not being sure buying a new DVD will solve this either. I'm all ears anyway!
