Big Blocks ROCK!!!
OK, I'm starting to get past annoyance into pissed off. HP Pavillion ZV6000 laptop with XP. I put any type of disk in, close the door, listen to it click and clunk and spin up the disk a little bit like it's always done on an initial disk read. Then it just quits. Computer acts like there's no disk in there.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled driver, checked for updates. Updated firmware. Checked BIOS. Went to windows update and did every update that looked remotely associated with CD drivers.
What am I missing? Ironically my department computer that is still on XP is doing the same thing. Our internal tech support said there was no more support for that particular computer (MPC), that they are aware of the CD/DVD drive issue, the latest windows update messed up something on XP platforms drivers, and the solution is to reinstall XP without the latest update or get a new computer.
Is my HP in the same boat? I don't use the CD drive hardly at all so I don't know how long it's been like this. My department computer is another story, it started acting up about 3 months ago. Still waiting for the replacement for that one :mad2: . Pretty pathetic when I can't give my reports to the prosecutor because my stupid computer is outdated.
thanks guys
