CD Reads Data Disc as Audio
After re-formatting hard drive and re-loading Windows98 my cd rom reads data
cd's as an audio cd. This is a old PC with a 52 speed cdr. It also has Nero 6 loaded on it. I have searched the Internet and found that others have had the same issue but no solutions. Does anyone have an idea on this? Even the Windows CD Player tries to play it and if you look at it in Windows Explorer it swos Track 1 and so on. |

Even the Windows CD Player tries to play it and if you look at it in Windows Explorer Some BIOS Setup routines allow you to assign the CD drive as an audio player. I do not know whether Win98 can override this or not. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Are the CD's in question home-burnt discs, or factory-burnt discs?
Have you tried cleaning the CD drive with an inexpensive audio CD drive cleaning disc? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "jmace845" wrote in message ...

Troubleshoot CD-R_W http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=218617 Troubleshoot CD-ROM or DVD-ROM I guess, a first try would be... (1) Boot to Safe Mode. (Hold F5 as you boot, or hold CTRL for the Startup Menu, & select Safe Mode from that.) (2) "START, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager tab". (3) Open the CD-ROM branch, by clicking it's plus sign. (4) Highlight each drive in that branch, & click "Remove". (Safe Mode may reveal the presence of a "ghost".) (5) Close up, & boot to Normal Mode. Hopefully Windows will find the correct drivers, & all will be well. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "jmace845" wrote in message ... | After re-formatting hard drive and re-loading Windows98 my cd rom reads data | cd's as an audio cd.
