However, have a look at Device Manager and check for any error messages for this drive.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Jul 2006 16:02:21 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-s1xp-does-not-recognise-cds-or-dvd-s/m-p/16258#M93058 rich912 2006-07-03T16:02:21Z Re: VGN-S1XP does not recognise cds or dvd's https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-s1xp-does-not-recognise-cds-or-dvd-s/m-p/16259#M93059 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks. Further investigation shows that the drive will infact play cd's but will not recognise that there is a dvd in the drive - either pre recorded or recordable. I have checked device manager and no problems are identified. Any suggestions ?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 03 Jul 2006 20:31:16 GMT https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-s1xp-does-not-recognise-cds-or-dvd-s/m-p/16259#M93059 msc66 2006-07-03T20:31:16Z Re: VGN-S1XP does not recognise cds or dvd's https://community.sony.no/t5/pcs-accessories/vgn-s1xp-does-not-recognise-cds-or-dvd-s/m-p/16260#M93060 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it does sound as though your drive has a hardware fault.
