could mean your DVD-Drive is bad.
there was no need to redo windows ether, if you only getting that error about the DVD drive.
PS if the Disc drive have "DVD logo" on it then it was made for DVD! other wise it only for CDs only and can't read a DVD
good way to know if it can even read any dvd put a DVD-Movie in then play it see what happens.
uninstall a DVD/CD Drive
1.) right click-on "My Computer" (on desktop or control panel area) then select "Manage" then select "Device Manager".
2.) look down the listing see "DVD/CD-Rom Drive "click-on the + sign next to it.
3.) you should see your DVD-Drive there if so then right click-on it then select "Uninstall" it may ask you really like to uninstall click-on yes or ok.
you may get a message you need to restart system its ok
as windows restarts back to the load screen it will reinstall the DVD Drive and all the drivers for it. thats it
a note only: some older DVD-Drives were made for Windows 98/98SE/ME may not work with Windows 2000, Xp, Vista they are build old stander and hardware DVD or CD may not have newer flash drives for them. you should check with the maker of the disc drives see if they have a new flash drive made for it.
