I'm having a very strange problem with my Windows 2000 Professional install. I'm having difficulty seeing CDs using 'My computer.' I can put audio CDs in and it will play them fine, but I still won't be able to see the volume label or contents in the 'My Computer' or 'Windows Explorer' locations. It will just say 'Please insert CD into Drive D:"(or E:)

Now what's strange is that sometimes I can. For instance: I could see the disc info from both my DVD ROM and my CD-RW this morning. I rebooted to see if it somehow magically fixed itself. When it came back up, neither one of the drives could see any discs.

I've got a PII 400, 256MB RAM, 30GIG HD, running windows 2000 SP1. The CDRW is a Plextor, which is 2000 compliant. The DVD is a Toshiba (which I'm not positive is compliant, but have used it on occasion to play audio CDs as stated above)

I've re-installed drivers, re-installed the drives themselves, switched the master/slave settings, and nothing seems to work.

Both of these drives worked 100% under Windows 98. Has anyone hear of this or know how I might go about fixing it?

Thanks!

Oh yeah, both are recognized during system bootup. Both can be seen in W2k under devices, and says they are working fine.

im having a similar prob. I burnt a movie on CD and it work fine when I use the same burner to play it with Windows Media player. When when I inserted that same CD into my regular non-scsi CD Rom drive, nothing shows up. I get a message saying "'Please insert CD into Drive G:" even the CD is in the drive. Does someone know a solution?
