DVD Drive Problems and Solutions

have an LED that indicates whether a fault has occurred.
Ta bl e 3- 1 0 lists some problems that the DVD drive could encounter, as well as some
corrective actions.
Slow response time The disk drive might be full. Ideally, at least 15 percent of the disk drive
should be free for system activity. Delete unnecessary files, or move files
to another disk drive.
You might need to defragment the disk drive.
Mirror regeneration might be occurring. Try to schedule mirror
regeneration for a time when the system is not heavily used. However, if
the disk contains business-critical data, you should regenerate the mirrors
as soon as possible.
The disk drive might be reading a compressed file. In the future, avoid
compressing files that are heavily used.
Many read or write operations might be queued to the disk drive.
Errors might be occurring on the drive. Check the system event log.
