Problems with CD drive...

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

Check this :
1. BIOS : Secondary Master is set to Auto or CD-Rom.
2. Safe Mode can read and write CD?
3. Device Manager->IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller->Secondary Master->Device 0->
PIO(Also check "DMA if available").
4. I have similar problem and let me know your results No.1-3.
My email is : bilclinton40@hotmail.com.

Hi Mike

Open Regedit and navigate to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDrom

In the right-hand pane look for the value AutoRun and make sure it is
set to 1. If not, change, close Regedit and reboot.

Hope this helps.
