cdrw drive not active in Windows ME system P-4 1300 w rambus 768 mb memory
hello all:
Recently running into probem with cdrw drive. It is not recognizing any of recorded / or even fresh cdrw discs. Only response upon insertion of any disc and attempt is made to access contents: "please insert disc" etc. Recently I have begun using CC Cleaner to clean out invalid reg entries and other stuff. Have run regscan with no errors showing. Have been using Roxio Easy CD Creator - reinstalled same. Also tried removing cdrw drive in Device Mgr - but after deleting drive and re-starting windows there is no notice of new hardware found when re-booting. Has registry cleaner somehow screwed up communication between drive and system - ? Is it just a drive failure? Drive opens /function light is amber - accepts cdrw disc / light goes grn hear a whir - then goes dark and although drive is again present in device mgr - it does not read any disc. Help? I do have an older Plextor cdrw and thinking of installing ? Suggestions? Thnx. Barry |
