[Solved Please Close] My DVD drive reads music but not install disks.

[Gaijin]

Have you tried it on a diffrent system if it's external?

Just a tought, which laptop has a external drives

So back to topic.

Every software/install disc has autorun file within, I've had a virus that disabled handling of those autorun files, with the result of disk not even showing up, double click would just spit out a message "Please enter a disk in E:\".
So that is my first suggestion, get really sure that it's not a virus.

Now it happend also that my IDE cable was damaged and the drive had problems reading, cd's but some how it always would read music cd.
Since you are using a laptop I can only say take it to an expert.
The drive could be damaged.

But I still belive that it has something to do with the autorun.

Did you un/installed some software in last time period that needed drivers to be installed/updated?
