My CD\Rom door keeps opening and shuting all by it's self, With or with out a disk
Been trying to insulling windows 98 back on my system Have another drive but don't know how to get the driver on for it. system clean nother on it,I formated it.
 
Wish I could help. I have the same problem or close to it. My CD-RW drive is detected by playback and CD-Burning software as being open when closed and closed when open, so the system likes to keep it open. Sometimes a full shutdown for an hour or so will cause it to reset, and stay closed, but using Roxio Easy CD Creator v. 5.3.10 with the latest driver 5.3.10r did not solce the problem and inevitably causes the switch in detection to occur again. For the record, I'm running WindowsXP Home Edition with an Intel Celeron 534 Mhz processor and 448 MB of RAM. The CD-RW is LG-CD-RW-CED-8080B which is I believe manufactured by either Hitachi or Samsung. I've tried Microsoft KB searches without result
Can anyone help curiousgui and angeleyes? Or point us to this question answered previously?
 
Thanks angeleyes. I'll give it a try. Irony: I have a sister who works for Adaptec (Roxio parent Co.) but she's administrative, not tech!
