Hi all, hopefully someone has some advice.
Recently i tried to play a retail Dvd in my windows 7 pc. however the dvd would not play. i looked in device manager and the retail dvd movies does not even appear in the drive as a readable dvd. My first thoughts are drive going bad. So i connected a usb dvd drive and tried again with the same problem. I thne went ahead and popped in a DVD movie that I had burned using the drive in question. It recognized that dvd and played it just fine. I tried the MS fix it utility and it did not work because the drive will not see the retail dvd. I also went ahead and tried several of my retail dvd movies and all of them produce the same results.
Any help would me appreciated.
Thank you
the dive I am using is a samsung SH-223L with the latest firmware SB04
operating system is windows 7 x64 sp1
