my cd/dvd/cdrw don't recognize that there is a disk in
them even if you go to my computer the drives are listed
but there is no cd in them. Tried to uninstall the drives
and re-install but that didn't work. This problem is
sporatic but getting worse. Even bought a new dvd/cdrw but
problem persisted. If you load a cd then restart drive
then recognizes media.
