Has anyone encountered this problem and/or do you think my drive is bad????
I have a 12/10/32 ATAPI Plextor drive. It was working fine, I was able to read and burn CDs. But then something happened. Now, when I put a CD in the drive, as it spins up the drive to read it, it gives me a Fatal Windows Error and crashes my system. I can take the same CD and put it into my read-only drive and access it fine.
The Plextor is on the same IDE as my other CD-ROM, so I tried changing it to a separate one, but it made no difference, it still crashed my system. I had the Plextor as the Master so I switched it to the Slave but again, it made no difference.
I even tried installing the latest firmware from Plextor. Again, it made no difference, my system will crash as soon as I put a CD in the Plextor drive.
I bought the drive from buy.com a while back, but I don't have any of the original packing or box so I can't return it. I am about ready to send it back to Plextor.
This is driving me crazy!!! I sent a note to tech support at Plextor but haven't heard back from them yet. Can anyone offer some help or suggestions?
Aaarrgghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
