DVD ROM not working only in windows?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have an Asus N53SV laptop, and my DVD ROM doesn't read any type of DVD in Windows.
I just installed Windows 7 from a bootable DVD, I think this problem occurred after I tried to change my partitioning with Paragon Partition Magic. I was trying to shrink, join and so on.
After this, Windows showed an error that Windows cannot find [weird address] on hard disk every time on startup.
Windows itself says the DVD drive works correctly and the driver is working properly, but no DVD or CD can be read. The DVD I'm trying to read is the same DVD which I used to install Windows some minutes ago.
I reinstalled Windows, but I formatted only the C: drive. I also have D:, E:, and a Linux partition.

It sounds like a bad drive mapping: the CD/DVD is OK, but the OS thinks it is the wrong drive letter. Did you try to change drive letters in the registry yourself (Warning: dangerous)? There's plenty of results Googling google.com/search?q=windows+CD+drive+letter+in+registry which I cannot copy to an answer since it's gonna be trial and error.

I've seen this happen before on XP and apparently, it can potentially happen to Win7 as well.
Here's Microsoft's solution:

Open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by clicking the Start button
, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.
Under Hardware and Sound, click Configure a device. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

It sounds like a bad drive mapping: the CD/DVD is OK, but the OS thinks it is the wrong drive letter. Did you try to change drive letters in the registry yourself (Warning: dangerous)? There's plenty of results Googling google.com/search?q=windows+CD+drive+letter+in+registry which I cannot copy to an answer since it's gonna be trial and error.
