I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem but I am having a strange problem with my Toshiba A105 Laptop with a DVD+R / CD/CD-R rom drive. It will load DVD's (retail and DVD+R) fine as well as data CD's and CD-R. However the CD reader will not read the Audio CD. I was wondering if there could be a setting in windows XP i might have missed. Please let me know thank you!


I also get this error when trying to access the drive:
 
Hi glyph1,

Do you get sound from other types of CD/DVD?

What software are you using to play the Audio CDs?

Have you checked the drive is secure, with no bent pins?

Thank you Shaun, I confirmed that it was a hardware issue and am having it repaired under warranty. I appreciate the help!
