Did you get a solution to your CD drives not working, if
so let me know. I had to reboot PC when drive was
runninng and this seems to have turned it off. I have been
through all the same as you, and still it asks me to enter
disc when i have one there. I have had same problem
before but have forgotten how to resolve.

Thanks in hope!!!

Hello ppl. not sure if this is a hardware issue or
software
issue so here it goes,I have two cd drives a Sony CD-R-RW,
set as sec. master, another sony(regular) cd drive set as
slave.Installed this last one six months ago and had no
problems with either, till yesterday morning when I
inserted a cd on the main drive and it wouldn't run,
clicked start\run browse and chose the main cd drive
and was told no cd was inserted poped the cd out and into
the other drive and nothing,same as before.Clicked on "My
computer" icon and when it opens I see both drives there,
Went to controlpanel\system\DeviceManager and checked the
properties for each drive, windows says both are working
properly,it just won't recognize any cd's at all.
Oh guess I should've put this at the begining(sorry bout
that) have windows Me retail ver. all updates and sec.
packs in place, 2.4GHz Intel pentium 4 ,80Gb hard drive,
1.24 GB of RAM .Ran a sweep of the system with; Adaware,
spybot,and McAfee virus scan v8.0,all report normal(all
apps. up to date)would appreciate any ideas you can throw
my way,thanks.
