433963 2006-02-26 06:51:00 WinXP OS. Samsung 52XCDROM gives 'please insert a disc into Drive E:' message when there is a cd inserted. I restored to yesterdays date and it is going ok now. This occurred also with an LG Cdrom that I replaced because of this. Something is obviously getting screwed up software wise, anybody know what?
Thanks Guys

433964 2006-02-26 08:44:00 What sort of CDs are these? Does it occur with any CD you insert? Can you see the CD listed under My Computer, and what happens if you right-click on the CD drive under My Computer and select "Explore"? Jen (38)
433965 2006-02-26 19:38:00 It happens with any type of cd. I didn't try it with the right click explore. though I suspect it would do the same as I did try 'my computer' left click. I will try that if it comes back. arjay (1202)

433967 2006-02-26 22:39:00 sounds to me like the drive is dead. you can probably pick up another CD drive for $10. If you are in Invercargill, I've got a 40x CDROM you can have for free. Greven (91)

If it's a DVD drive it will read DVD's even under XP but if it's a CD drive it won't read DVD's, of course XP reads DVD's. :rolleyes:
