My CD/DVD drive will not read a movie or a data cd, But if I re-start the
computer with the cd or movie in the drive, it will read it. Then if I want
to change to another movie or data cd it will not read again?
Can anybody help me?
 
Roberto;
I have exactly the same symptoms following a major crash with the October
updates. If I start my machine with a CD in the drive it reads OK but if I
remove it, Windows can see the drive but refuses to acknowledge the disc in
the drive. Confusioningly, Roxio CD-R/RW writing software will then burn a
disc OK in the drive, even when Windows says there isn't a disc there.

Any disc taken from the drive reads staright away on an external CD-RW USB-2
drive on the same system, so I have ruled out bad disks. Device manager says
that everything is OK and the drive is working properly. I have removed the
driver and replaced it whithout success.


Anybody out there any suggestions? Is this a registry problem? Article
q218617 doesn't help by the way.
