DVD-ROM ain't reading my DVDs anymore

[djelite 0]

Only thing I did different on my re-install of XP Pro, was have My Computer be set up as a "Standard PC", instead of a "ACPI-PC". (For music production reasons.)

 

It will read DATA and MUSIC CDs but, that's it.

 

I see no problems in DEVICE MANAGER.

 

Any insight would be greaty appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling?

 

 

It may need cleaning too.

 

Make sure its recognized as dvd rom, with the correct regional settings

 

Luck we live Hawai'i yeah?

Thanks fore the expedient reply!

It's still a 'no go' though.

Living in Hawaii? We're lucky indeed.

I had this problem a while back.

 

I had to switch the cables out. It would only read when it was by itself on the secondary IDE channel as master.

The weird thing is, everything worked fine before.

Freaky.

You got gremlins my friend

 

 

Its most likely driver issue, that when you connect it again it will redetect and find it, and install the same driver as before.
