Just wondered if anyone has seen this before.
Don't know what has happened but on Sunday suddenly both my external USB
CD-Rom and Internal CD Rom drives
on my laptop suddenly stopped reading cd-rom disks containing data.
Audio cds play fine but any data discs such as backups, games or software
discs result
in the same message if browsed in explorer:-
Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could
be using a format that is not compatible with Windows.
I have re-installed drivers, been through google but nothing I could find or
do made a difference.
I did a virus scan with f-prot and a spyware scan with spy-doctor but
nothing helped.
I'd be gratefull if anyone has any ideas what do to.
I also removed the USB cd-rom drive and plugged it into my other laptop and
it worked fine.
