When I put a disc in either of my drives (one is Pioneer DVD rom the other a burner) I get a message no disc in drive. Sometimes they work, I have uninstalled and reinstalled them both. I can burn to the burner no problem just can't read from it. If I go to Neromix I can read the disc and play it from there with no problems and can also read the contents of both drives from Nero Burning rom but I can't read the discs by clicking on the drive icon in my computer.
