Check the hardware profile (Start = Settings = Control Panel = Systems, click on Hardware tab anbd then click on Device Manager button. Do you see a yellow mark next to the CDRW? #3: software conflict maybe? Did you install something just before the CDRW quit working? #4: the drive's a lemon. Get it exchanged. -- To reply, replace digi.mon with tds.net |

Look in Device Manager. Is it there, but with an exclamation mark indicating
trouble? If so, try uninstalling it, then reboot. XP should redetect it. If not, try the Add New Hardware wizard in Control Panel. HH "tele64" wrote in message . .. Help HH.... CDRW drive NOW (all of a sudden) not recognized by XP....suggestions??? Thanks in advance, tele64 |
