CD Drive Problems

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

Have read CD-R AARTEC W-4848 read/write IDE DVDROM 16X. Problems: have
managed to burn some video and play the odd CD audio but very infrequent in
most cases will not recognise disc in drive. Have tried to follow Help line
but have gone down many blind alleys. Is there a saviour out there?

That doesn't sound like his problem. He says that it won't
recognise the disk in the drive (ie the blank one that he is
trying to burn).

You suggestion will work if he has turned autoplay off and
he wants to play/read a pre-recorded CD.

But as I said, I don't think that is his problem.

Cheers,

Cliff
