CD's keep ejecting from CDrom drive

[Bob H]

For some unknown reason, on a new install of vista ultimate, when I
place a data cd in the cdrom drive and click on the said drive to read
the cd, I get a message telling me to 'insert a disc' even tho'there is
one in the drive, and it it ejected!

Any ideas please?
Thanks

Is this Data cd one you burned on another PC? if so did you properly close
(finalize) the CD?

If you only click on the drive once, that is vista's default action to eject
it.

You have to double-click.
Also, it should auto-run.

It is a manufactures CD for my mother board, so yes it should be finalised.

I dbl click and it still ejects the cd, even though I have set to open
the files in explorer, in control panel/autoplay.
Thanks anyway

Can you open or explore when you right click. Sometimes a dirty drive will
act this way.

I found that if I place a cd in the drive before I boot into vista, it
is recognised and can be read, but if I put a cd in the drive after
vista has loaded, then dbl click on it, vista seems to thing that I want
to burn a disc/cd, and tells me to insert a disc; probably because the
one that I put in was already full and finalised.

This of course does not happen in winXP.
Thanks
