I used PC Doctor to test my CD Rom which doesn't read cd's.
It failed all the tests and in details the error message was
Event:41_4
I have searched but haven't had any luck. It's an HP Pavillion.
ThanksJohn

I imagine that if your CD Drive "failed all the tests", you may
wish to consider replacing it.

an excellent idea!

as long as the drive is bad...you don't have too much to loose by seeing
if the mfg has a utility to reflash the cdrom's firmware.
