Suddenly, my Windows Explorer and the 'Start -> Run'
command are having difficulty recognizing disks in my DVD,
CD and floppy drives. The message for the CD drive is that
the disk is either unformatted or corrupt. For a disk in
the DVD drive, nothing happens when clicking on the drive
in Windows Explorer. For the floppy drive, the message is
always "disk needs formatting". Yet when I access the
disks using an installed application like Windows Media
Player or RecordNow, I can read the disks fine. The device
manager says all drives are working properly. I've
installed nothing recently and have made no changes other
than performing a Windows Update on Feb 20th, which
included running the Malicious Code removal tool. I wonder
if that has something to do with my problem. In the
meantime, I cannot use my disk drives to install anything.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Regards.
