Your notebook does not recognize a disc
■ The disc may not be seated correctly in the tray. When you place a disc
on the tray, make sure that you press the disc firmly onto the spindle so
the retainers hold the disc in place.
■ The modular drive may not be inserted completely into the modular bay.
Press the module into the bay, then try to access the disc again.
■ Make sure that the disc label is facing up, then try again.
