Data CDs not being read

[Adam]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

On my new CD drive when I insert a data CD the drive is not being read -
when I right click and OPEN or EXPLORE I'm prompted to insert a CD. If I
insert a music CD it will read and play, if I then eject the music CD and
insert a data disc it is read ok. I have tried right-clicking properties in
MY COMPUTER - I can change the autoplay options for music CDs but not for
data.

Thanks, Adam

Usually means the CD drive is on the blink. You might get by with cleaning
the drive but chances are good that the drive should be replaced.

I've seen this problem a lot and it tends to originate from faulty cd writing
software. Take a look at this KB article:

If you follow the steps in that link, it will usually solve the problem.
