Why does my computer freeze when I try to read a disc?
The disc that your computer is trying to read may be dirty or damaged. Follow these steps:
1 Press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys and click the arrow next to the Shut down button and Restart to restart the computer.
2 Remove the disc from the optical disc drive.
3 Check the disc for dirt or damage. If you need to clean the disc, see Handling Discs (page 150) for instructions.
What should I do if the drive tray does not open?
❑ Make sure your computer is on.
❑ Press the drive eject button.
❑ The optical disc drive on your computer may have been disabled in the BIOS setup screen. Follow the steps and the tip
in Disabling Built-in Devices (page 130) to enable the drive.
❑ If the drive eject button does not work, click Start and Computer, right-click the optical disc drive icon, and select Eject.
❑ If none of the above options work, insert a thin, straight object (such as a paper clip) into the manual eject hole on the
optical disc drive.
❑ Try restarting your computer.
