  • Uninstalled Daemon Tools -> Now can't play DVDs

    Operating System: XP Home
    Burning Software: Windows Media Player v9, Sonic RecordNow! v7.3
    Anti-virus Software: AVG Free v7.0.308
    DAEMON Tools Version: Uhh its uninstalled

    I uninstalled Daemon Tools and now CDs still work, but DVDs don't. The drive just makes a weird noise (does the same thing when I stick CDs in but the CDs work eventually) and then tells me "Please insert a disk into Drive D:"

    Help?

    Weird noises are for sure not Daemon Tools uninstallation-related. Seems your drive died.

      Aye, but it still works for CDs? And I can still copy CDs. Ignore the weird noises and what could be the problem? I don't have seperate CD and DVD drives so if it died surely neither would work.

      I only had Daemon tools installed for about an hour.
      Before I installed -> Drive works perfectly, its brand new after all.
      After I uninstalled -> The problems mentioned.

      If it matters, it is a:
      Phillips DVD+-RW DVD8631
      (16x DVD +/- RW with Dual Layer Write Capabilities)

        Noise points to some mechanical problem.
        CD and DVD use different laser wavelength, so maybe just one path died.

              I reinstalled Daemon Tools and the DVD Drive now works perfectly.

              How do I uninstall and keep it that way?
