I have a CD/DVD drive in my computer for a long time, and it worked properly. I got a dual-layer DVD disc recently, and it loaded. Since then, i started using a lot of those discs and suddenly it started taking a long time for those discs to load, but after some time even that failed and it wouldn't load these discs at all now. I still got that drive in my computer, but i bought a newer one recently because it started nerving me a lot that it can't load those discs. Even with that CD/DVD drive, it wouldn't load them, so i figured that it must be a problem in the computer. I wanted to ask if someone had a similar problem, and if he did, how did he solve it? I run Windows 7, the older drive is Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170S ATA, and the newer one is either a VUHS 1QNW56BOXY SCSI CdRom Device or a HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N ATA device... As you can probably see, i'm not very familiar with this subject.

That new LG drive SHOULD read DVD+-R DL disks. Can you explain what you mean by "wouldn't load the discs"? Does Explorer show that there is a disk in the drive? How have you tried to access the disk? Have you tried in Safe Mode? – techie007 Jan 10 at 22:12
It just says "Please insert a disk into drive F:". No, i haven't tried in safe mode, how do i do that? – Dimitrije Jan 11 at 9:58
