Disappearing CDRW\DVD
Hope someone can help me with this problem. A new install of WindowsXP Pro
on a new build computer. Specs: MSI K7N2G-ILSR AMD AthlonXP 2500+ Kingston HyperX PC2700 DDR Ram 512megs Western Digital EIDE HDD 80gigs (master on IDE0) Samsung CDRW\DVD SD352B (master on IDE1) (Installed WindowsXP Pro from this drive) PS2 Keyboard and Mouse All newest drivers and patches. When I boot into windows I can see the CDRW\DVD drive in Windows Explorer and in System Devices, everything looks ok, but I am unable to read any disks I put ito the drive. When I go to a dos prompt the drive is also not found. When I boot up with a cd or dvd in the drive I am able to read the cdrw fine in Windows Explorer and at a dos prompt until I reboot and forget to leave a disk in the drive. This is starting to drive me a little batty if anyone can help thanks in advance. |
