Dvd Drive Problem

[adams]

i'm having what sounds like the same problem with my cd burner.

It was working fine before i changed it from slave to master (dvd drive was master and i switched it to slave), so i could boot from a cd because my dvd drive is too old and won't read cd-r's. its like you have to have the cd sitting in there just right or it won't acknowledge it being there.

i haven't tried uninstalling anything yet though. will have to try that.

also, i have just done a low level format on all my hard drives and just now got xp pro sp1 set back up on it too. i wouldn't think that would have caused it but who knows.
