dvd-rom not spinning up Chuck 13.07.2007 17:56:05 I recently upgraded my PC's drives, adding a DVD-RW while keeping the original DVD-ROM as a secondary drive. Here's the problem: while the drive shows up in My Computer, and is "functioning normally" in Device Manager, it won't read anything. I insert a disc (DVD/CD, doesn't matter), it'll spin up for a few seconds, then spin down, and that's it. As far as my PC is concerned, there's no disc in there. HELP!! 8-G

Re: dvd-rom not spinning up Chuck 13.07.2007 20:24:01 Yup. Doesn't even recognize a disc as being present, be it music, movie or megabytes. :-) "Gary S.
