Original issue was this - I was trying to play CD's in Winamp and realized that I couldn't. I then also realized that I couldn't rip files from CD in either Winamp or dBpoweramp... but for /some/ reason I'm able to play CDs fine from Windows Media Player (which I despise)
So I went through some steps - thinking maybe I needed a new driver - and now I can't accesses the drive at all - no power - no nothing. The reason I thought I needed a new driver was because it wasn't being reccognized by the two programs mentioned above... the only real steps I took were doing a google search for drivers for my DVR and CDR drives...
So here's my specs
Running Windows XP SP2
Drives:
Pioneer DVR-104 (the drive that isn't working... at all)
Samsung SM-348B (this drive is working... but not working to play CD's in Winamp)
I checked the device manager to see if anything was up but nothing bad coming up in the Device Manager - my computer sees that there is a drive - which means that A) there's power to the device and B) the cable is seeded properly... it simply won't eject when I hit the button.
Anyway, if anyone can think of anything else I can try it'd be appreciated...
Fortunately I've got enough hard drives that doing a re-install wasn't the chore it once was... if it gets to that point however, maybe some of you guys can recommend a good ghost software out there, I'm snubbing Norton 2004 as it's given me nothing but problems on XP.
