Re: [W2K] CD ROM Drives Say "No Disc" when disc inserted
Do you use any sort of disk imaging or backup-to-CD software? If so and you're as lazy about labeling disks as me, you might be trying to read one of those CDs.
I have NovaBack Instant Recovery, a Linux-based program on bootable CD, that writes the backups in a proprietary format that gets the "no disk" or equivalent message from Win??, Linux, OS X, and OS/2 if you try to read them outside IR. (they were labelled late one night with a pencil - doesn't show up too well in the light of day  ) |

| No, I don't use any unusual backup programs from inside Windows.
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the problem came after installing Service Pack 4. I didn't have any trouble up to about a month ago, which was when SP4 was installed. I made no other changes to the system.
I back up from a DOS image CD with Norton Ghost and back up the partition.
