Solve : DVD Rom recognises data only not audio cd's?

1.	Solve : DVD Rom recognises data only not audio cd's?
Answer» Hi I can't get my PC to pick up any audio cd's. It gives the message "Please insert a DISK into drive D". Data cd's work fine. I reinstalled the driver, also fairly confident that my pc is virus / spyware free. Any ideas?I don't have a clue as to what type of machine this is; what OS you are running or what MIGHT have happened prior to this to cause this dilemna i.e. was any hardware/software installed recently.... However i'll go out on a limb here cause i'm FEELING adventurous this afternoon. Go to Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and right click on the CDRom drive and select Uninstall... Re-boot and Windows will automatically re-install the drivers for that device. Quote fairly confident that my pc is virus / spyware free. Famous LAST words......Operating system is Windows XP home on a Intel CELERON 2.8GHz. If this means anything to anyone for the DVD: HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4521B. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, doesn't solve the problem. I'n not sure what caused it and how long it has been like this but it used to work. I noticed it first when trying to copy an audio cd using Nero. I since uninstalled Nero, used the Nero cleaner, reinstalled drivers etc still no success. Anything else I can try? Try the drive in another machine. Then you will know if it is the drive or your configuration. this removes all doubt. If it doesn't work in another machine get a new drive.I unfortunately don't have access to another machine. Can I check the configuration first? Am i wrong in thinking that it can't be a problem with the drive if can still read dvds and data cds?All things are possiblble with computers. It seems like you have covered possible software/configuration possibilities.Is the problem only with copied CDs? Can you play a song that you purchased from a shop?No I can't play any purchased music cd.

Hi

I can't get my PC to pick up any audio cd's. It gives the message "Please insert a DISK into drive D". Data cd's work fine.

I reinstalled the driver, also fairly confident that my pc is virus / spyware free.
