CDRW drive dosent show disk change

Try changing your cable.

Did you try the easiet method first? Single left click on the cdrw drive icon and go to view > refresh ... WinME has lots of problems; I have it too, and have learned to refresh a lot.

Not knowing when you got your system, or if you upgraded the drivers. Most systems will not change what is on the drive unless you refresh, or go out of and re-enter the directory.

After re-reading your problem, have you updated to the latest drivers?

Be sure Auto-Insert Notification has not been turned off. I'll never use ME, but that checkbox should be somewhere on the properties panel for either the drive itself or the controller it's connected to in the Control Panel System applet.

Some CDburning software will turn off AIN while the software is running, and a failure (crash, etc) can cause it to remain off.

This occurs ONLY when a disc formatted with Direct CD is used; all other discs show change when disc is removed.
