Also went into a supplementary box in device manager with a disable/enable button but according to that it is enabled


Itworked OK till recently I have just checked the connections inside of the computer and they seem fine and it open and shuts OK

The DVD that wont run is a Windows 10 Install disk that I created using Microsofts creator site this disk works OK in a different computer CD DVD player.
This will throw a spanner in the works, I have just tried a Omron Pedometer install disk in what I thought was the faulty player and it work OK. Could it be that the what I thought was a faulty player is not recognising the Windows 10 disk I created.

Thanks

Would the CD/DVD player show as disabled if it simply couldn't read the disk inserted into it?


It might be that the type of media you've used for this Windows disk isn't compatible with your player.

So some progress. One disk works; one does not; so player seems fine but one disk does not.


Try several more recorded disks such as other install disks, music disks (commercial) etc to see if it is disc or player related. Presume it is not a writer too?


As indicated previously there are several formats of disk so it could be a format compatibility issue or an alignment compatibility issue so sorting playable and unplayable into categories might help to pin that down. Try them out first.
