Problem: The Optical drive is unable to read a CD/DVD.

Troubleshooting and problem resolution:

1.Check to determine if there is an optical drive icon in the resource manager of the operating system. If not, restart your computer. If there is still no icon, contact Lenovo Service. Otherwise, continue with the next step of this procedure.

2.Confirm that the CD/DVD has been properly placed in the drive. If not, reload the CD or DVD. Otherwise, continue with the next step of this procedure.

3.Check the specifications that came with your computer to confirm that this optical drive is supposed to be able to read this type of CD or DVD.

4.If the CD/DVD cannot be read, replace it with a known good CD/DVD such as one that was shipped with the computer.

5.If the known good CD cannot be read, visually check the operating side of the CD/DVD for defects.

Problem: The capacity of the hard disk, as indicated by the system, is less than the nominal capacity.

Troubleshooting and problem resolution: For computers equipped with the OneKey Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some hard disk space. This may account for the apparent hard disk capacity deficit.
