I have a 16x LiteOn DVD and WinXP SP1. Whenever I put a CD, or DVD in the drive, it spins up, but fails to be recognized by Windows Explorer, or by any program that could use it (WMP for video/ audio, games for game disks). I checked autorun and it is still on, however nothing ever autoruns. Furthermore, if I try to access a simple data disk from My Computer, it pops up witht he "Insert a disk in drive" error message. I believe the problem got started when I intalled TweakXP a long time ago (by enabling the optimize for 16x DVD option), however after I unistalled TweakXP, disks could once again be read by programs as well as windows.
So either I am dealing with a faulty drive, or a Windows mishap. Can anyone point me to a direction based on the info I provided? If anything sounds familiar or fishy, please get back to me, because I don't have the money to buy another drive right now. Thanks.
