Can't Read CD-ROM
Had a pgm failure that caused XP to crash. XP rebooted (it scanned HD for errors) then completed successfully. HD's ( have 2) both work , pgms run and Internet 'internets', but CD-Roms (have 2) and Floppy don't read. Device Mgr says they're OK. Uninstalled CD and Floppy drivers & let XP reinstall (said it was successful) but still NO JOY reading.
Suggestion?? |

Just wondering. Does the BIOS detect that CD drive? When you first bootup and the computer goes through a self check, does the computer list the detected drives on the monitor screen? If so, does it list the CD drive? What brand and model is your CD_Roms'?

Have a DELL 4300 ... the BIOS has never listed HD's or CD's at boot BEFORE - and still doesn't, but XP Device Manager and My Computer bopth recognize the CD's.
CD drives are: Hitachi LG CRD-8482B and Lite-On 16102B |

Did a restore and driver uninstall/reinstall and thought solved. But CD can only be read (for both drives) if it is IN the drive at boot time. If I insert it after boot, system either says CD is corrupt or blank.
Also, cannot burn. Suspect registry prob - has anyone heard of something lie this? |
