A week ago I was trying to play some DVDs I had copied from the hard drive of a Freeview recorder (garden wildlife) but the DVD drive refused to play them and reported them formatted but "empty" and prompted me to burn data on them.
I Googled the drive in this HP i3 laptop for problems and yes, HP had a fix. However, it involved hacking the Registry, something I do not feel at all confident in doing so I ran Ccleaner.....
Wow! About 3pages of ***t! Never had that much accumulated crap on any PC before. I ran the cleaner (saving the data everytime!) until it reported no problems. Rebooted and lo! Optical drive works again!
