Hi,

Windows Vista cant identify DVD and this situation needs to be changed.

Make sure the media is a Valid media and media with corruption will be unrecognized by the drive.

Insert other DVDs to make sure the drive is okay.

Now if the drive and media is without problem, enter Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > click on CD/DVD device and click Update Driver, this will update your existing driver to a latest driver and the system should work fine now.

Thanks.
