Solve : CD problem? |
|
Answer» Cd drive suddenly stopped working. Will not see any disk installed. Hangs until finally times out. Device manager will see the drive with no errors. I tried different interface cables and 3 different drives, with no success. I m running XP Pro SP2 AMD 2500 on a home built system. NEW ideas excepted.Hewitte: Have you RECENTLY added any new hardware or software? In Device Manager, try clicking the Troubleshoot button and following the SUGGESTIONS to try to figure out what is the cause of the problem. Let us know how it turns out. DocThe only thing I can think of is, I de-installed Nero 7 demo-software. I have not installed any new hardware or software. Device manager does not point to any errors. It sees whichever CD drive I install. CD Rom or DVD. Quote The only thing I can think of is, I de-installed Nero 7 demo-software. I have not installed any new hardware or software.

Try Nero Clean Tools http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/Clean_Tools.html Quote The only thing I can think of is, I de-installed Nero 7 demo-software. I have not installed any new hardware or software.

If the Nero Clean Tools don't do the trick, try reinstalling the device drivers for the device. Do you know how to install drivers? Another alternative may be to reinstall the Nero demo. If your CD drive works after the installation, then you know a component of the PROGRAM (e.g., a device driver) is needed. If you then choose to uninstall the demo program and you receive a warning message that a component may be shared by other programs and are asked if you want to keep that component, indicate that you do want to keep the shared component. Let us know how it goes, Doc And or you can try this...go to Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager...find the CD devices and right clik them and select Remove. Upon re-boot WINDOWS will automatically re-install the drivers.Fixed. Un-installed CD drivers, let Windows re-install and looks like my drive is ok. Thanks, loadsYou're more than Welcome and Welcome Aboard ! |
