Help! I just recently put together a PC and installed Windows XP Pro SR2 on
it. The install went fine, no errors. The new PC has a DVD-ROM drive and a
DVD/RW drive. Obviously, the DVD-ROM drive worked, or I wouldn't have been
able to install Windows.
Here's the problem. Both drives will read data CDs and DVDs. However,
neither will read an audio CD. It doesn't recognize the format. This is the
exact error when it brings up Windows Media Player 10:
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. If the file is on another
computer, verify that you can connected to the network. If you typed a path,
verify that it is correct. If the problem persists, the server might not be
available.
Okay, it's just an audio CD. I played the same CD on another computer and
it worked fine, so it's not the CD. I tried disconnecting one of the drives
from the MB and I get the same problem. I attached the new computer to the
network and loaded the CD to my file server. The server plays the CD fine,
but the new PC has the same problem. I even tried putting a different
optical drive in the computer... again, the same problem.
Can anyone help me? This is really infuriating. Here are the PC
specifications:
Motherboard: Mach Speed P4MBMS Socket 775
CPU: Pentium Celeron 2.96GHz
Memory: 1Gb (1 stick)
Video: On board
Audio: Turtle Beach Riviera PCI
HDD: Maxtor 120Gb 133 IDE (primary master)
ODD1: NEC ND-3550 16x DVD burner (secondary master)
ODD2: LITE-ON SOHD-16P95 16x DVD-ROM (secondary slave)
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2 (Microsoft Action Pack license)
BIOS: Phoenix Bios A04
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
