Did you have to use a CD to reinstall WinXP? Was it able to read that CD? Or was it a reinstall from a partition on your HD?
I'm having a somewhat similar problem, insofar as my sony vaio laptop's combo dvd-rw/cdrw is malfunctioning and not recognizing cds, but is recognizing dvds...
Please keep us informed... I am thinking my drive is worn out, and will have to get another, but first I'm gonna try to flash firmware.
PS- Sounds like your DELL is still under warrenty, so take advantage of that and get them to fix that sucker!
