Can't read disc on Internal DVD/BD Drive - hp BDDVDRW CH28N

[AJSarley223]

I don't know if anyone's had this problem, but here goes:

I've had near-perfect success using a portable DVD reader to rip my discs. However, when I use an internal DVD/BD drive, MakeMKV stops reading the disc (or the drive stops processing) and gets stuck in a loading status (eternal spinning disk animation), even when the disc is ejected. I have to close and restart the program. What is going on and what can I do to fix this (short of buying a portable BD reader)?
