    Disk Drive
    I can't get CD drive to read any CDs. Get command "Please insert disk into drive D:." even though a disk is present. I have disabled the DVD/CDROM drives in the device manager and rebooted, but that didn't help. I show two drives present, a LITEON CD-ROM LTN382, and a SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352B. My player is a Samsung. Any ideas?

    "Have you tried a CD cleaning disc and also are all the cables securly connected ??"

    Yes please try these first you need to check both laser in drive is clean plus any cd's you are trying to play. If all this is OK then it usually means the drive has failed even though your PC still recognizes the drive the laser eye or something may have failed and with these units being so cheap these days its not too bad. Easier if you can plug an other unit (knon to be working) into where this problem unit is to double check, if you don't have another unit use your other drive in the PC (i.e swap them) if a good unit doesn't work then it is NOT the drive and vis versa. Hope this helps.
