Clean install of XP Pro all went well and both DVD and CDRW are recognized
in device manager BUT neither will play or even recognize a CD of any kind.
I know both drives work ok because they work with Win98SE and I installed XP
using one of them. Nothing else installed except all current updates and CA
antivirus (not firewall just antivirus). When I put in a cd in either drive
and try to see it either in My computer or Win Explorer I get a not
responding error.
DUH!
Any suggestions please
