Solving Problems: Dell Inspiron 8200

HINT: Because of different worldwide file types, not all DVD titles work in all DVD

drives.

High-speed CD drive vibration is normal and may cause noise. This noise does not indicate a defect

with the drive or the CD.

Ensure that Windows® recognizes the drive— Click the Start button and click My

Computer. If the drive is not listed, perform a full scan with your antivirus software to

check for and remove viruses. Viruses can sometimes prevent Windows from recognizing

the drive. Insert a bootable disk and restart the computer. Verify that the

light is

blinking, indicating normal operation.

Try another disc— Insert another disc to eliminate the possibility that the original disc is

defective.

Adjust the Windows volume control— Double-click the speaker icon in the lower-right

corner of your screen. Ensure that the volume is turned up and that the sound is not

muted.

Identify the disc that is not playing— If you have one CD, CD-RW, or DVD in the fixed

optical drive device and one in the module bay device:

1. Click the Start button and click My Computer.

2. Double-click the drive letter of the device that you are verifying.

Reinstall the drive

1. Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the

computer.

2. If the drive is installed in the module bay, remove the drive.

If the drive is a fixed drive, review "Check the drive for errors."

3. Reinstall the drive.

4. Turn on the computer.

Clean the drive or disc— See "Cleaning Your Computer" in the Tell Me How help file for

instructions. To access the help file, see "

Accessing Help."
