    My DVD drive will only read a disc if the computer is restarted with the disc already in the drive. Then if I put another one in I need to restart the computer again.

    I have tried:
    System Restore to before the problem started-
    Reinstalled and updated the driver-
    Checked the registry-
    2 Different DVD Drives-
    And even removing every program that uses the DVD drive, ie DVD Decrypter & Nero.

    Tried Different cables and different sockets on the motherboard. One drive is IDE and two are SATA and all have the same problem. I cant even reinstall windows because it wont boot from the Windows 7 DVD. Everything else on the computer works perfectly. The SATA HDD, Graphics Card and Memory card reader.

    Also just tried Changing the drive letter but still having issues.

    I am really at a loss and any ideas will be helpful.
