When i change cd's or DVD's the system will not recegnize the new one
until
the system is rebooted. I can even eject the one that is reading and
close
the door and it will not recognize it. This only started happening
after I
reformatted and reloaded my system.
I ran into a similar issue recently that I think I have
at least partially figured out. If the CD (or DVD) that
I am looking at has the same label as the next one (I
had several with backup images for the drive that I
had burned with NERO), windows could not tell when
I changed the CD -- refresh (F5), closing the window
then re-opening it etc, kept showing me the directory
from the first disk (although it was the second in there).
If I put a disk in that had a different label, then it would
"refresh" and show me the correct directory. I have not
had more time to play with it, but was able to duplicate
it on two machines (both running XP Pro, SP2). I could
take the second disk (that showed the directory of the
first) out of that drive and put it in a different drive which
then showed the correct directory for that (the second)
disk. If I then took the second out and put the first in
that one, it still showed the directory of the second disk.
I did spend some time googling around and found some
others with the same experience, but no one seemed to
have any answers. Every time I have run into this, it has
been disks I have burned and I suspect set the label the
same.
