I am having a Packard Bell Easynote Laptop and the DVD-RW drive not reading any DVD movies. It is possible to boot from DVD and can read data DVDs. When I insert the DVDs i can hear the spinning sound, but DVD is not loading at all.

Slimtype DVD-RW SOSW 833S and firmware version is V9S9 (NEC 6750)

Please help

Did this drive come with the Laptop?
Does it read any other media?

Can u explain what u mean by disc info? Firmware version is V9S2 and according to packard bell support website the drive is NEC ND 6750 and that's all I know about it. There is Nero image but I have tried uninstalling it and tried, but no use. Region code is set to 5 and remains 4 chances to change. There are no any softwares installed to change the region code except the cyberlink power dvd.

discinfo software, just because you have said its two different drives, 1) Slimtype DVD-RW SOSW 833S 2)NEC 6750.

I would first start by unistalling everything in device manager, under ata/atapi controllers and restart and try.

After running the discinfo I got the following error, "ASPI driver not or improperly installed". Before that I have uninstalled everything according to your instructions, but still problem remains.

Regarding the Drive I have mentioned, in the device manager under the DVD/CD-ROM Drives it is mentioned Slimtype DVDRW SOSW-833S, but while contacting the Packard Bell support after entering the serial no of my laptop I got the information that it is NECND 6750.

Thanks

Extra info: None

DVD Burner Device

what you have is a liteon drive not an NEC, did you buy this as new? out of interest run LtnRPC and remove the region lock, and try a DVD

Then why the Packard Bell support says it as NEC! Yeah, I bought the laptop one year back.

Anyhow I will try your instructions. I hope that will work fine!

Thanks
