cd/dvd drive hell

[Perry Mason]

ok, for some bizarre reason, when a put a disc in the drive, it freezes my
system for a few moments, then it will no longer see the drive in explorer
or device manager. remove the disc and the system will see the drive again.
WTF! I've checked the cables and they're fine. any thoughts would be
seriously appreciated! WinXP SP2 2.5ghz cpu, 1gig ram.

Have you tried the drive in another machine, or can you boot from the drive
with a bootable CD?

Is this every disk that you put in or just one or a few?
