My CD-ROM, which is recognized by XP, will no longer read
any of the CDs. It keeps issuing the message: "Please
insert a disk into drive F:"
It all started wednesday as I was getting ready to re-
install windows and the CD-ROM worked fine until I
rebooted. The reboot did not recognize the CD and did a
regular boot instead of starting from CD.
Here are things I have tried so far:
1. I have changed teh boot sequence to CD-ROM being first
thinking that it was fluke. Did not work.
2. I tried to install, manually my CD_ROM driver.
Installation was successfull but CD-ROM still did not
work.
3. I tried to uninstall the drive completely from Device
Manager. After a few minutes XP detected the new hardware
and re-installed it but that still did not solve anything.
4. Uninstalled the CD-ROM through device manager again and
re-botted the system. XP re-installed the CD-ROM but to no
luck.
5.Checked that the CD-ROM properties does not have a check
mark on the "Disable this device", and it does not.
6. Tried to re-install windows with XP floppy boot disks
but the CD-ROM still did not recognize the CD after I was
asked to insert it in order to continue the installation.
An acquintance of mine also has the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
