Windows doesn't state volume name of media in optical drives

[scottws]

In Windows XP Professional, Windows Explorer will only tell me what disc is inserted in a given drive if the disc is already in there when I start the computer. If I eject and then reinsert the media, Explorer just sits there, showing me that I have a CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive. Ejecting and reinserting the discs does nothing.

I can access the discs just fine, but I have three optical disc drives and a virtual disc drive. It would be nice if I knew what media was inserted in what drive.

This used to work fine before my reformat. I did use TweakUI to disable Autoplay, and thinking that caused this problem I enabled it again, but not only does the disc label not display, but Autoplay doesn't work either.

I'm not too concerned about Autoplay not working, but I'd really like to see the disc labels. Anyone know what is going on?

I also had previously installed the Adaptec ASPI layer v4.7 drivers and changed local policy to reflect the following: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only: Enabled (this fixed problems with using Exact Audio Copy on non-Administrator accounts). I'm not sure if this affects this issue or not, but I thought I would throw it out there.

The Disk Management Service shows no media inserted in the drives, even though there is.

I temporarily fixed the problem by disabling and then re-enabling all of the drives. The volume information would display after the disc was ejected and reinserted. Autoplay worked as well.

But then I rebooted and it is broken again.

Edit: Uninstalling the devices in Device Manager, rebooting, letting Windows detect them again results in the same thing. It works fine until I reboot.
