Re: NotFixed:XP sees All DVD's as "CDROM" can't read them Not sure if you're still looking for input or not -
RW drives use 2 lasers - one to read, one to write, so it's possible the read laser is failing, which is why the system can't read the discs, but the drive can still burn them.
Cheap enough to replace.
Have you tried one of the other system's DVD drives in your system, to eliminate the system as the problem? I'm sure it's the drive, but you never know. |
