Make sure the drive's disc tray is securely closed -
press it gently into the computer until it clicks into
place.
Open the drive's disc tray and ensure the CD,
DVD or BD is properly seated - it should lie flat
with the label facing upwards.
A foreign object in the drive's disc slot could block
laser light from reading the CD, DVD or BD -
remove any foreign objects or obstructions that
may be present.
Check whether the CD, DVD or BD is dirty - if it is,
wipe it with a clean cloth lightly dipped in water or
a neutral cleaner. Please refer to the
section in Chapter 4, for further details on cleaning
the media.
The computer's software or hardware
configuration may be causing a problem. Ensure
that these configurations match the requirements
of the CD/DVD/BDs media (refer to the CD's,
DVD's or BD's documentation if available).
