Grumpy DvD Drive , Need help.

I have a LG DVD Drive (Super Multi (Dont know exact name))
Its Acting Wierd since few days.

I have most of my Stuff in DVD's , So I use DVD drive more often.
I have Dozens of Burned DVD's .. Since few days.. some of the dvds Work properly will good speed... but some of the dvds just dont Read.

Few Moserbaer DVD's Work.. some of the dont..
Digit Dvd's work

I thought the dvds might be faulty but they are almost new (no scratches or marks ) , i tried them on my friends computer. they work like Charm No problems at all.

I thought its a hardware fault.. So Opened the CPU and Re-Installed all the Sata and power cables.
I even exchanged the HDD's Sata cabel with DVD's , Still it didnt worked.
So , I thought my Windows mught be faulty , Im currently using windows Xp .. yah ... So I wanted to Install Windows 7 , but the Windows 7 DVD too Didnt Read :'( Not even in the Boot Menu .

(Im not sure if this is the correct section )Need your suggestions , tips , tricks,jugad's etc.

install Windows 7 from a USB Pendrive using by using YUMI.

Install Windows 7 using this: Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

Well , Guys that was the 1'st thing came to my mind. I don't have a USB , the one I have is 4Gb (3.7 gb something) So the Windows Bootable Software Shows a Low Disk Space error.

Ill get some other 8GB USB and Try it . Thanks for your replies.

Dude, CPU and cabinet are not the same things. CPU is a processor which is inserted on motherboard. Cabinet is... you probably know it. Please don't refer to cabinet as CPU, it's really dumb :wink:

that 4 GB pendrive is enough for windows 7.

Sorry for late reply .. but I sorted out the Problem.
The Windows 7 DVD I was using turned to be Faulty .. So I Got a New Copy of Windows 7 Dvd from a Friend and tried installing...
But that windows 7 DVD Setup was getting Stuck at "Expanding windows Files @ 0% . So I Rested my Bios for that.. and Tried installing .. It went Smoothly."

+ Those DVD's which were not getting Read in Windows XP are working Perfectly

Great! You may want to clean the DVD drive.

glad that your problem is solved.
