    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Problem is Fixed. I don't know how but it fixed itself. A couple of days ago I put an audio CD in the drive and it opened up windows media and played the disc. since then I have used both drives several times without any problems. Thank you all for your input. Just a thought though, most of your...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    I have tried the autofix program and it can't find a problem with autoplay. I don't think autoplay is the problem anyway as if I had booted with a disk in drive as stated in last post then autoplay works fine from that point on. When the drives are not working: when putting a disk in it appears...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Thanks bcastner. I mean any disk. Once I have booted a disk in drive it behaves normally from that point on and so does autoplay. It can be a DVD a CDrom or a purchased music CD or data CD. If I have a disk in both drives when I boot then both drives work normal from that point on. Also the...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Thanks Kestral1, Yes I did try the suggestions offered by bcastner. My drive is already partitioned so is not too much of a problem to reinstall a fresh copy of windows on a dual boot then copy data to the new partition. All I need is some time. In the meantime I can still use my drives as long...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Thanks a lot for your help guys. Just to clarify, I don't have any problems burning to the drives - only reading from them. I don't think there is a conflict between clone CD and Nero as the two have been happily running together for a long time. However I have recently updated Nero to the...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Thank you for input. Norton antivirus didn't find any problems. I didn't do a clean install as I have so many programs to re install if I have to do a re format. So I am saving that chore as a last resort. I forgot to mention that I can write to the drive ok. I did a disk to disk copy. Clone CD...

    Strange problem reading CD's.

    Hello I cannot read CD's on my two drives anymore. When I put a cd a drive it's Icon animates ok and the light on drives flashes and it is obviously reading the disc but then I get a message that there is no disc in the drive. The problem applies to all kinds of discs not just CDR. The drives...
