Q: Why isn't the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive reading a DVD or CD?
A: After inserting a DVD or CD, you must wait a few seconds for the disc to be
detected before trying to access it. If your drive reads some DVDs or CDs but not
others, check the shiny side of the disc for dirt or scratches. You may also need to
clean the DVD-ROM drive lens with a CD-ROM cleaner.
