Hi guys,
I'm wondering if somebody can help with a problem I've been having for some time.
I'm not certain exactly why, or what brings it on, but from time to time, my computer stops reading anything on the CD ROM drives. I have a 50X CDR only that came with the PC. I also later installed an HP9900 combo CD-RW/DVD-R. Anyways, sometimes both drives read fine, sometimes one and not the other, sometimes the other and not the one and sometimes, like now, neither one work. Reboots don't seem to help, nor do power downs. It just seems to finally start working again on it's own. It's not a question of the hardware registry: both drives show up (as vacant, even with material in them) in the file explorer, and they show up as what they are... CD-R for D: and CD-RW/DVD-R for E: .
:help:
