16.04 Ubuntu on my Laptop, DVD/CD Drive will not work, even after replaced with a new DVD/CD Drive?












0















With the old DVD drive, it would show the drive is present but my game install CD would not run. DVD's would not play.



I physically removed this old DVD Drive and installed a new drive into my laptop.



Once again, the laptop will show a DVD/CD drive is present but it will not play or run the CD's I put it. It will always say error or it will not auto run even if I click on "Autorun exe"



What can I do?



I am beginning to think it is an Ubuntu issue, and the drives are both fine?

    You can't run exe on Ubuntu. Can you see files on your CD/DVD?
