Need help. Disk drive not reading certain disks.

[ataylor0]

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone could help me.
I cant play games on my laptop because when i put the disk in it just does this

V

Any reason why?
its irritating me, so far.... CoD2 works, any DVD's but 007QoS and CoDMW2 dont work. thats all ive tried so far.

Help would be great, would it be worth re setting to factory settings? i cant figure out how to do it.

Probably they are dual-layer dvd's (they hold 8-9gb vs the 4.7gb of normal dvd's) and the drive can't read them.

You could try updating the firmware, but I'd probably just buy a new drive, they aren't too expensive.

Oddly thy used to run though, so is it maybe the drive is just old and broken, or is it the firmware maybe.

How do i update it?

Its a Toshiba Satellite A200 btw.

Try to replace your computer and fix it.

The disk might be broken of non-functional.

The USB might have a problem.
