Some computer systems use an AOpen brande of CD/DVD drive.
AOpen is a computer hardware company that produces a variety of equipment, including CD/DVD drives. If you have an AOpen drive installed onto your computer you may occasionally run into performance issues, ranging from the computer not detecting the drive to the hardware not burning inserted discs. Regardless of the issue you can typically correct and fix the problems with the hardware.
Instructions
1. Check the user manual of the CD/DVD burner you have. Depending on the model year of the device the format of DVD you are using may not be accepted by the drive. Some DVD drives only are compatible with DVD+R and if you have inserted a DVD-R the drive is unable to read or write data to it.
2. Download the latest driver for the CD/DVD drive you have. If the computer is not detecting the installed drive it is because your driver is out-of-date. Download the driver for the particular disc drive you have (see Resources). Double-click the downloaded file once it is on your computer, then follow the prompts of the installation wizard to install the driver onto the computer.
3. Restart your computer. It is possible the computer just failed to boot properly and did not detect the drive. Restarting the computer corrects this issue.
4. Spray a few shots of compressed air into the CD/DVD drive. If your discs are skipping it is because dust and other gunk is stuck to the reading lens of the drive. The compressed air removes the debris from the lens, allowing the drive to read the data on the discs once again.
