Hi,
I have recently bought a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 1520 and it already had Vista installed on it and was set up to go and all. I have been using the cd driver regularlly and have not had an ounce of trouble with it. Today it stopped working..... I have used a lens cleaned, the device manager says its fine and working perfectly but when i put in a cd it doesnt seem to load. When i go to my computer to load it it ejects the cd saying "insert cd". Can spmebody please help me. Regards David |

Bowe,
This problem can have several causes, including the drive needing a firmware update. Some drives don't recognize the media that's in the drive, but the firmware takes care of that. Another possibility is that the drive is going bad, though not likely in your case since the drive is fairly new, but it's till a possibility. The laser in the drive could be faulty. In addition, another burner application, like Nero, could be causing the problem. These situations are hard to diagnose because of these multiple possibilities. You likely will simply have to go through various troubleshooting steps to see whether you can identify the issue. Try another burner application, for example. Try using a different brand or type of media, in case your burner doesn't recognize the one you're using. This troubleshooting requires a lot of poking around. In that regard, peruse the posting on this forum. You might try some of the suggestions you find to see whether those fix your problem. That's about all I have on this subject. -- freddy "Bowe" wrote: Hi, I have recently bought a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Si 1520 and it already had Vista installed on it and was set up to go and all.

Bowe,
One other step I neglected to mention: In Device Manager, under the Properties for the drive, select to Uninstall it, and then reboot. The idea is to force Windows to detect and reinstall the drive when it reboots. Sometimes that step fixes problems that one didn't even know was there.

Bowe,
Follow the instructions on the following Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929461 Sometimes this solution works, but who knows until you try it. I was wondering whether you have Nero installed. I'll post some links to burners that work will with Vista.

Bowe,
In case the burner program that you are using is causing a problem for you, here are links to three burners that people who have used them say work well with Vista: http://www.imgburn.com/ http://www.deepburner.com/ http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2 I obtained those references from another forum. I've not used any of them. Each one has a free version and a more fully featured pay version. Some versions of Nero and/or Roxio, and even the iPod associated burner, have been known to disable CD/DVD-ROM drives. You can uninstall Nero first. Just for your information and consideration. -- freddy "Bowe" wrote: I already did the uninstall and re booting but it doesnt appear to have done anything I have noticed that there is a picture of a lock on the icon.

Just after following the instructions (properly this time). I have gotten rid
of the upper filters but there are no lower filters "freddy" wrote: Bowe, In case the burner program that you are using is causing a problem for you, here are links to three burners that people who have used them say work well with Vista: http://www.imgburn.com/ http://www.deepburner.com/ http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2 I obtained those references from another forum.

Bowe,
Did removing the filter fix the problem? That's all that matters. You might also have to uninstall Nero. You're in the best position to tell. I'm toooo far away. -- freddy "Bowe" wrote: Just after following the instructions (properly this time).
