Disc Not Read After Windows 8 Reinstallation - Windows 8

Hello, guys,

Last weekend, I failed to remove some malware. So I decided to reinstall the system, Windows 8 Home Premium, by PC restore. While, during the installation, there was a message saying Disk not read. Then I checked the harddrive, it was OK. Then I do not know what should I do next. How to fix it?

Pls show me some suggestions.

Many thanks!

Try this - Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click the device - Driver's Tab - click
Update Drivers (this will likely do nothing) - then RIGHT CLICK the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
this will refresh the default driver stack.

Then work your way through these - remember the drive could be bad, could have a loose cable or
slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Control Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click the device - Driver's Tab - click Update Drivers (this will likely do nothing) - then RIGHT CLICK the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

It is the right step to fix your disk not read problem in Windows 8.
