Hello, I have a problem, probably rare, I mean a CD / DVD drive that I do not read Farming Simulator 2015, the game was bought freshly in the store, as I put the disc in the drive, the drive detects the disc and the lamp flashes and then stops reading, the drive at all I can't hear how the disc reads only such quiet sounds but it doesn't read anyway, and here is the problem, because I don't know if it is the fault of the laser or a double-layer disc, I read other discs, even on my sister's laptop I read Farming, Drive is: Optiarc DVD-RW AD-7170S ATA Device, a brand probably from Sony because I pulled it out, please help and best regards
It may be that the drive ends. Does the game require a disc in the drive? If not, it will make the laptop drive available in the local network, install the game and that's it. Since you have a problem with one CD, it's a shame to fight. If this solution does not suit you, replace the drive with a new / used other. It is a pity of nerves to fight the drive. What you can try quickly is to clean the laser, although it probably won't help or upload newer firmware http://www.sony-optiarc.us/support/downloads/dvdrwseries.html how old are you Just choose the right one, nothing bad will happen and maybe it will help.
No game requires a disc in the drive, so I can not access the disc to the local network, Firmware updated a long time ago, It may be a problem with the laser, Because not only this disc is not read to me but also a different game about farming.
Probably the drive is slowly coming to an end. At current prices, I think it's a waste of time even to disassemble the drive and clean the laser - and it probably won't do anything. Playing overclocking the laser power supply voltage is not enough that a higher driving school will even help if it works. With drives I have bad luck so now I only buy used DVD recorders for max PLN 50 and that's it. Nówki died down right after the guarantee and it only annoyed me. And here the lottery is true - but the logic drive is currently a niche element of the PC. If you buy a model that exists on the market, let's give it 5 years - it is unlikely that it will get very bad. You can look for such after leasing solutions, most of them come from office machines, where sometimes they are not used at all. If you have space in the casing, you will add a new one as the second one. You will check what you don't want to read in the other.
Try to create a disc image with a friend on a different DVD drive and from the image mounted as a virtual DVD drive try to start the game.
And as for your drive, sometimes it is that some drives do not read some pressed discs. If this is the case in your case, try to make a copy of this disc at your friend's or at home to burn to the disc data from the image you created with him.
If the disc is copy-protected, try to get interested in software that can deal with these types of inventions. Apparently, in our country you can create a backup copy of the disc if we purchased it in a fair manner and we can prove it (purchase receipt or possession of the original disc).
Guide: A CD or DVD image is a file on the disk that contains the entire contents of the disc. This image is created using special software (you should be able to download a free version of such software for your needs). The image created in this way is connected properly in the emulation program of the DVD drive. Such emulation is seen by the user or game as a real DVD drive. The game then reads the data it needs, not from a real disc, but from this image file. Ot the whole philosophy.
Sometimes there may be problems with the game if we use the image from the file. This is because sometimes games on DVDs have safeguards against illegal copying and distribution. The simplest protection is e.g. deliberate placing of reading errors on such a disc in specific locations on the disc. The game tries to read the content from such a crafted place - it can't download data, but knows that that place is so it says "ok, the disc is legally acquired, so I will let the user play". However, if you transfer the contents of the disc to disk to a file, and then use such a file as data for the game, then the game after attempting to read data from a "special location" will be able to read data from that place without any problem. And this means that the disc is not original.
Of course, such simple protections have not been used for a long time. Because they are too easy to bypass by selecting the "copy bad sectors as wrong" option when creating a disc image.
If you want a copy, take your drive to a friend. Pin him on him. Insert a game disc in your drive and a clean one and make a one-to-one copy. I assume that your recorder has no problems recording. Alcohol should handle it but nero probably has these options too. Otherwise, when creating an image, you need to check which plate it has (if it has) and then in deamon tool or alcohol120% you can choose such protection when creating the image. Worse, to play from such an image you need to create a virtual drive with this program and look for options in this option to emulate this protection. It is possible - I don't like playing with a disc in the drive so when I have a DVD game I usually do this picture anyway Simply more convenient.
No Ok, nice idea with connecting the drive, but the problem is that the drive doesn't read farming to me, so that's why I write about it on the electrode
So what that he doesn't read to you? A colleague's drive has to read and yours has to record a reading - one to one copy. The copies will be read by your drive without any problem and you have done of course, assuming you have such a possibility.
The discussion revolves around a user experiencing issues with their Optiarc DVD-RW AD-7170S ATA device, which fails to read the Farming Simulator 2015 disc. The drive detects the disc but does not read it, leading to speculation about potential laser failure or compatibility issues with double-layer discs. Suggestions include cleaning the laser, updating firmware, or replacing the drive altogether. Users also recommend creating a disc image using software like Alcohol 52% or Nero, and using a virtual drive to play the game. The conversation highlights the challenges of older optical drives and the practicality of using virtual solutions for game access. Summary generated by the language model.
