You have a bad blu-ray drive or a bad disc. Windows should see something in the drive.
I have a laptop with a blu-ray drive that worked for about a year, then it began not recognizing a few of my discs. I updated its firmware and after that it doesn't see any blu-ray discs. It wasn't a bad firmware flash either, since DVD's still work fine. But it's out of warranty so I am SOL. You can probably take your movie to a store and ask them to play it 'cause you want to see how it looks on that TV you might buy. But more than likely it's the drive. If you confirm the drive is bad, let us know the make/model so we can be careful in our future purchases.

When I try to browse the DVD through explorer it doesn't even recognize that there is a disc in the drive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Aldrich" <[email protected]> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 11:50 AM Subject: RE: OT-BluRay Movie Discs > What software are you trying to use to play the BluRay disc?
