I am currently running Windows XP home on an athlon
machine. Recently the computer will not recognize any
cds or dvds when loaded in the drive unless I first
reboot the computer, then the disks are recognized
without a problem. The disk drives are present under "my
computer" and I have uninstalled the drives and
reinstalled them which did not correct the problem. I
have the same issue with my digital camera in that I have
to reboot the computer with the camera attached before it
recognizes the storage card in the camera. I am also
having problems with my floppy drive where it always
wants to format disks that are already formatted. The
drives work correctly in windows safe mode. All of these
items were running fine some time ago and I have not
added any new hardware to the computer, the only thing I
have done is to install windows updates and some other
software.
Please help!
