My old CD-ROM (5 years old) suddenly stopped reading CD's. (I had just installed a new router/firewall and installed Norton Internet Security). It would produce an error message that the disks had a format not readable through Windows or were corrupted. My second CDRW simply wouldn't read the cd's.
Device Manager says devices are working properly.
The CD ROM is a master on what I assume is the secondary bus the CDRW is a slave.
If I turn the computer on with a cd in the drawer the computer will read the cd no problem.
If I remove the CD then put it back in the computer then a I'm back the the wrong fromat/corruption error message
The digital audio box is not selected in the properties screen
I tired to unistall then reinstall with recent drivers from either Microsoft or manufacturer's website - no chang
I bought a new CDRW (Sony) and replaced the CD ROM with it using a new ribbon cable and audio cable - no chang

Any thoughts on what I could try next?
