My CD drive has magically stopped reading audio CDs, When I insert an
audio
CD, the system shows there is no CD in the drive (through Control Panel,
WMP,
My Computer, etc.). There is no problem reading a CD ROM. This is a new
problem (I've had the computer for a couple of years). It's not a matter
of
the age of the CD, as I've had this problem with one CD of a two-disc set,
but not the other.
I tried turning off the system and rebooting--this worked once, but has
not
worked in the three or four reboots since then.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the device driver (Device Manager says the
drive is working properly).
I searched for an updated device driver, but haven't found one.
I've gone through the AutoPlay options, so that doesn't seem to be the
problem.
To add to the confusion, if I keep switching CDs I can sometimes find one
that works.
Any thoughts or similar experiences?
(Using Windows XP)
I suspect that the problem is caused by a marginal CD drive. To confirm this
suspicion you would have to remove the drive and temporarily connect it to a
different PC to see if the problem persists. Alternatively you could borrow
someone else's CD drive and test it on your machine. Both methods are
somewhat tedious but you've got to go through the motions to make sure.
