Laptop not reading Rewritable DVD's

[Kingy_85]

Why has my Sony Vaio (VGN-NR21M) stopped reading blank discs?

I can't burn anything because it wont recognise the discs, and these are the exact same discs that it burned perfectly well in the past ?

Its also stopped reading blank discs that i have used to store old photos and videos on ?

Help ?

Well, obviously you have a serial, deprecated media recognition failure, probably a non-Valid, dual-homed subsystem seizure.
Either that or a bidirectional, unregistered timing interruption.
If we had a little bit more information to go on, we could tell if it was just an intermittent, fatal metadata unavailability issue or more of a localised, redundant software timeout.

Have you tried turning it off then back on again?

If a disc is blank there is nothing to read.

No, it still reads it. Usually asks if i want to write anything to it as well. Now its not even acknowledging that a disc has been put in.

It's make your mind up time.
