{Disc device troubleshooting} "This article describes how you can troubleshoot 
issues reading CD-ROM or DVD-ROM optical discs. This article also discusses how 
to troubleshoot common issues with CD-R and CD-RW devices. The steps in this 
article apply to compact disc (CD-ROM) drives, compact disc recordable (CD-R) 
drives, compact disc re-writable (CD-RW) drives, and digital video disc (DVD) 
drives." To summarize, you should try the steps on this site before calling 
your 
technical support. Some of the steps include closing unnecessary software, 
testing the disc in a different computer, and cleaning the disc. Make sure to 
clean 
a disc by wiping from the center of the disc outward... if you wipe the disc in 
a 
circular fashion, then you risk scratching it. The steps in this article will 
only serve 
to save you time, as you will probably be able to fix most disc problems by 
following the steps. If this article doesn't help you resolve your disc 
problem, look 
on the bright side... you won't have to spend so much time on the phone with 
technical support, because you'll already know what the problem ISN'T!
