My D drive is present but can't read or write to CD. I put a CD in and it
provides all the right noises as if it fires up but when I double click on
the D drive there are no icons present displaying the files that are actually
on the CD. Any suggestions. I've been told that I might need a new CD Rom
drive but I can't believe that (expensive!!).
 
Dear Sir or Ma'am:
Greetings.
I had a similar problem. My thread read as follows:
When I insert any type of CD in either of my CD Drives, it will display the icon for >that particular disk, but when it is ejected, the icon does not disappear. When a >new CD is installed, the old CD icon remains. If I double-click, the icon, the CD >ROM drive acts as if the previous CD is still in the Drive. The new CD does not >appear.

I was given a fix by "Gary" at tweattown website:


<"this is quite a common error, I dont know why microsoft dun fix it in
their releases lol

what you need to do is a possible two things:

First, Run this application.

The Microsoft AutoPlay Repair Wizard scans your computer devices to find
defective AutoPlay settings, and attempts to fix those it finds. Download the
Autofix utility from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/3/2/2326455e-a840-4c61-bc28-3afa1820b240/AutoFix.exe

And second, for your incorrect contents of the CD drive XP problem

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314939
Incorrect Contents Are Displayed in Windows Explorer

If you run the first application, it should fix the autoplay ( CD drive icon
etc.. ) and the second resolution should make sure the CD contents refresh
too.

I hope this helps.
