I have a similar problem with a Creative DVD player. I
replaced the player, thinking it was the problem, but
with no success. I then found that going to Properties
for the drive and selecting "Volumes" and "Populate", the
disk in the DVD player was read and it was then
accessible.
This is annoying, of course, and I am looking for a way
to make the drive automatically read data or music disks
without needing to select "Populate".
