Hi
My drive is HP CDDVDW TS--L633R
Some of my CDs and DVDs are showing as empty on my laptop, but the content will show on other laptops, this is really annoying and frustrating. It will show 702mb free of 702mb whereas other laptops will show the content.
On the other hand, other CDs and DVDs are showing well on my laptop.
If it was a matter of driver of optical driver installed being incorrect, then any CDs and DVDs would have been read as empty.
