Problems with my CD-ROM, CD-Burner and WIN XP. Please help.

[daywalker]

I have WinXP Pro installed on my system and i have one Hitachi 32x CD-ROM Drive and one Yamaha 20x CD-Burner. The problem is that sometimes, neither of them will detect a CD if i put it in (they act like there is no CD in there) and i have to restart my computer in order for them to read it properly. Sometimes also when i take a CD out (that worked perfectly) and put another one in, AGAIN neither of the two CD drives will read it. They act like there is no CD in them and i get a window telling me to enter a CD!!! And as always, i have to restart to solve the problem.... Btw my master-slave settings as follows:

Primary Master: 10GB HD
Secondary Master: Hitachi 32x CD-Rom

Primary Slave: 2,4GB HD
Secondary Slave: Yamaha 20x CD-Burner

Can someone please help me on this

You could be having problems with your cd burner software like Nero. I would remove the software reboot.
See if it you can see the drives. If you can reintsall the CD burner software.

Just a hunch. This happenend to me once and it worked.

I also have this problem sometimes. If I put a CD in, it'll lock it up. (I'm also using XP.)

And sometimes rebooting it doesn't necessarily fix it. I have to unplug the IDE cable from my burner, restart. Let it detect the CD-Rom, then turn it off, put the cable back in, then turn it on, and it's fine. Sometimes it happens for no reason. (Like even if I don't put a CD in the drive.) I dunno about the fix for this.

I'm using Nero 5.5.9.14. (I'm pretty sure it's the newest version.)


Sorry, don't kno of any fix for this, but I haven't really looked too hard for this.
