WINDOWS XP Pro SP 3 cannot read CD or DVD-RW disks on DVD-RW drive

The problem I have is nearly identical to what is captured in Windows
article 899527. but that was for WIN XP computers with SP 2 installed. Not
clear if this was fixed in SP3 or still applicable. Have two ATAPI DVD- RW
drives (TDK 440N and a Sony DRU-810A) properly installed as a master/slave
configuration. After loading my software CDs in either drive, WIndows fails
to read them. Light on the drive comes on for a moment but autorun file
fails to run. Looking at the drive on My Computer shows the dirive to be
empty. Clicking on the drive icon results in a message to insert a disk.
Same thing for DVDs previously writtenby these drives. Any suggestions?
