CD drive cannot read w/out outside app.

by goofball . Updated 22 years, 7 months ago

I have recently installed XP Pro. Since the instaltion, my LITE ON LTR 12101B drive cannot read data CDs at all, and can only read audio (non MP3) CDs through other programs like RealPlayer or Windows Media Player. I cannot go directly to the drive letter and open or explore. It always show 0 objects. The drive will still burn CDs using Nero, but cannot read them after the disc is burned. The disc I burned can be read by other PCs, or if I switch to another hard drive I have w/ Windows ME on it. With this other drive, the CD Drive works perfectly. Any suggestions??

PS: The XP I got came from BCD2000.com. They do not have a real tech support or even customer care link. I called Microsoft and they turned me away saying BCD2000 ought to cover all issue s as it was an OEM disc I bought, and part of BCD2000’s licensing agreement is to cover technical issues w/ Microsoft product problem for thier customers.
