My laptop HP Pavillion ze4145 had a Combo Drive with is a TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2212. This drive reads DVD's including software dvds and movie dvds. But when i insert a cd it does not read a cd. I have tried all cd it simply does not read. I tried writing a rewritable disk, even this is not recognised by the drive. I uninstalled the drive and re-installed still it does the same thing. i am running the windows XP home edition. I checked with the e-diagnostic tools, but it shows that the device is working properly. Sometimes it shows that the file format is not supported by windows.
how do i overcome this problem.
