OPERATING SYSTEM - WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL V.2002 SP2
COMPUTER - AMD ATHLON 64 PROCESSOR, 3200+, 2.01GHz, 1GB RAM

I use audiograbber to rip my legally owned music from my discs to mp3 format
for my zune and ipod. I paid for this program maybe 9 years ago and it has
since become freeware so it's not a licensing issue. I sucessfully ripped 3
discs worth of music then all of a sudden the program wouldn't read anymore
discs. I uninstalled and reinstalled, I found every last file of the program
and did it again and again. I always get the same result. It won't read my
music discs anymore. I donwloaded a program called ASPI check. It didn't
find any of the ASPI files on my computer so I downloaded yet another program
to replace the missing ASPI files that this program needs windows to have.
The program still will not work, it recognizes the drives and tells me they
are both there, the ASPI drivers are in their correct places but the program
still will not read. I can't even get the cd's to play in either drive. I
can play a movie and any dvd but I can't get the drives to read the cd's any
longer. Has anyone ever had this problem and/or know of a solution? I'm
dead in the water with this one. Problem number 2 is that This is my newer
computer that has XP Pro and I somehow lost the recovery discs...I have XP
HOME recovery discs from my other pc but I have no idea what will happen to
my work or my files if I reverted back to HOME. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Afraid I can't help with your problem, infact I have the opposite, plays CDs
but not original DVDs but I do know that if you reinstall windows it will
wipe anything on the drive partition and recovery discs only work for the pc
model they are meant for

I would try (if you have access to) another CD/DVD burner. Maybe swap out
the one in your other computer.

I don't know if that will solve your problem but it's worth a try...
