Cd drive is running too fast

[Sikkel]

Hey,

My cd drive is running way too fast so it's impossible to install something are burn something on a cd. I had the problem under windows xp, but now I've installed windows vista and the problem is still there. Does someone got a solution

Go out a buy a cd cleaner disc but make sure you don't touch the reader lens unless with a lens cleaner cloth. If that doesn't work then contact Vaio Link and make a case to have it picked up and replaced. If it's out of warranty then a good computer repairer will be cheaper.

Hi Sikkel,

I'm not sure if Vista can manage the drive speed. I would use Nero Drivespeed to slow down your drive.

You can download it free from HERE but I don't know if this free version is Vista compatible.

You may have to buy NERO 7



EDIT: Morning Tony!!

Sikkel,

If you are still within warranty then follow Tony's advice - try slowing the drive down if you are out of warranty. This may not be the problem!!!
