What to do if the optical drive can't read the disc

Method/Step

First, we must understand the type of data that the disc pays. It is common to understand that old-style optical drives do not normally read DVD-formatted data discs.

On the other hand, the reason that the optical drive fails to read the disc properly is due to an aging or dusty optical drive head. For this advice, clean the head: In case of power off, use a cotton swab that is stained with alcohol to gently rub the test.

Another workaround is to use the "Drive Wizard" program to fix it. Search directly in Baidu "Drive Wizard" to obtain the program download address.

Run the driver Daemon program, switch to the "visionary" tab, and click on the "CD-ROM Repair" button to repair the optical drive.

In the repair window that pops up, look at the type of situation that is causing the optical drive to fail, and then click the "One-button repair" button to fix it.

After the repair operation is complete, you can try to use the optical drive again to read the disc. If you cannot resolve this failure, it is recommended that you use the driver Assistant for further repairs.
