I have Windows XP Professional installed with SP1. I have an LG 52x CD-ROM.
Everytime I try to use the CD-ROM to install something, the installation
will start but then it will come to halt and prompt me for the drive that
contains the next installation file. When I go to browse, the CD-ROM drive
is gone and when I check Device Manager, it's not listed there either. If I
restart the computer, the CD-ROM appears again in Device Manager and when I
open My Computer but if I try to install something from the CD-ROM again,
the problem re-occurs. I tried going to LG's web site to get a driver for
the CD-ROM for Windows XP, but no driver is available. Any ideas what the
problem might be?

Thanks,

I had a similar problem - go to the MS knowledge base and
type in "lowerfilter" in the search string - you will get
a bundle of responses, one of which may sort your problem.
