    Vista does recognize optical drive

    My CD/DVD RW is not recognized by my system. I just added Vista. It is a new OS so I thought it is going to provide me a much better support. I can boot from Vista installation DVD so that means the optical drive working. But Vista is not reading any of the disc that I had. I tried to check the same in Device Manager. It showed me the driver is installed. There is no issue when I use a USB optical drive. The internal is the one which is not working and I use it always as default option for my dvd movies.

    This is one of the most common issue with Vista. Many times even I had notice that when I use some new disc they do not work on Vista. They are not at all readable. There is relative useful link that can help you to understand the problem behind the same. You can go with driver updates. Check in Device Manager that the optical drive is properly configured and not causing any error.

    Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
