    Is this the only cd not reading?

    Have you tried other cds and dvd discs to see if they can be read

    Have you tried to see if disc could be seen in windows explorer

    Did this game ever work

    Have you checked to make sure disc is clean and not scratched

    Does the player play music and movie discs

    Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup.

CD Drive Isn't Reading Certain CDs? [ 1 Answers ]
