hi,
i am running Win2k pro with all latest critical updates. a few weeks ago, both the CD and CDRW drives have stopped working. i can open the trays and i see the led come on, but the computer refuses to recognize any CD inserted. i tried different CDs that are working on other PCs. i un-installed the drives and re-installed. i removed the hardware then used plug-play to re-install. i disconnected them from the mother board. switched connections. nothing helps. Device Manager says both are working properly.
the rest of the PC is fine. is it the mother board?
thank you.
