Odd DVD/CDROM problem....

[crazydude]

Hello. I am having a bit a of a problem here... I had to jsut take my computer completly apart and put it back together, and everything seems to be recognized OK but in WinXP, my DVDROM drive isn't working properly. I can see it as a drive, WinXP says its working properly. If I put a CD in the drive, I can look at what files are on it, and even read TXT files, but I can't RUN any of the files, OR copy them from the CD to my HD! I know the CD is OK becasue I tried it in my SCSI CDRW drive... Could something be wrong with the configuration on my DVDROM drive (IDE)? I know very little about IDE, so please excuse me if I made a stupid mistake or not done some standard configuration diagnosis...

Thanks,
Andrew Pullin

is the dvd on the master part of the ide cable or the slave part?
also is it on ide1 or ide2?

also how about some system spec's so we know what kind of motherboard you got,and what other drives you got,
