Dell Vostro 1500 laptop with Windows XP Professional, my DVD drive TSSTcorp L632H will not read my Windows 8 upgrade disk.
It will read other DVDs. I have updated the firmware.
The drive properties is showing type as CD Drive with file system unknown with disk image blue but used space and free space as 0.
Using device manager, when I ask it to populate the volume it is showing disk as CD-ROM 0, Type DVD, Status No Media, Partition Style Not applicable, Capacity, Unallocate space and Reserved Space all show as 0.
