JFig24 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 hi everyone.....i'm hoping someone can help me. I have two cd rom drives installed.....DVD and Burner. As late as yesterday morning, both drives where working great. However, now my DVD drive does not work. Windows shows the drive is physically installed in the computer and recognizes it without any trouble. However, when I insert a CD into the drive, nothing happens. Usually, the cd would either autoplay or it would open up to show me the contents of the disc. When I try to click on the drive to open up the disc, it tells me to inset a disc into the drive. As I mentioned earlier, the drive was working fine yesterday morning. The only thing I did that might be out of the ordinary, was install ATI multimedia center for my ATI tv tuner card. I unistalled it to see if that might fix the problem, but it did not. I also reinstalled the ASPI drivers, but this did not correct the problem either. I unistalled the drive, rebooted and let windows reinstall it, but again, this did not correct the problem either. Does anyone know how I can fix this???

Chris123NT Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Hmm maybe switch ur DVD Drive to a different IDE channel and see if that works. It could also be a bad drive. I had a burner do that to me. One minute burnt a CD no probs next minute the thing wouldn't burn at all (Power Calibration error - Burn lens = dead LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 or completely uninstall it from the device manager and let windows re-detect it via next boot or "scan for hardware changes" Chris123NT: same thing happened to my burner cept i had it for a while :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dclanz Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Go into Device manager ( System properties ) and under Ide ata/ atapi controllers, try switching from dma to pio or vice versa. Hope this helps.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
