Hello everyone, I assume I have run into an weird problem since I have replaced my Normal Windows XP Professional SP 2 with Windows XP Media Center Edition, but I am not sure that it’s the reason. The problem is: my CD ROM doesn’t read all sessions of a multi-session CD, to be more specific it always reads always only the first session, no matter what CD I try. I think you will agree with me that it’s a pretty idiotic situation considering that I am on Acer TravelMate 290 laptop, with Intel Pentium M, 1400 MHz Centrino Mobile Technology (which means I am on a quite decent machine, not some old tractor) I always use Nero version 6, and in all other CD ROMs all sessions on my multi-session CDs can be read fine. Does anyone think there a solution? A registry key modification, latest CD ROM drivers, anything? Forgot to mention that even though CD ROM doesn’t see all sessions except the first one, I still can see and save all sessions using Nero session viewer or WinISO on the same Acer computer, same CD ROM If after all there isn’t a solution to fix the issue, I’d greatly appreciate a suggestion on which program like WinISO I the best for retrieving sessions from a multi-session CD? Thanks a lot in advance. Regards The beat never fades!

Did you reinstall the MOBO drivers after you changed the OS?

You think i should try installing drivers for Motherboard from manufacturer CD? I have such CDs, but i doubt there are drivers specifically for CD ROM, as CD ROM is easily recognised by Windows, so no drivers needed. Anyways, for information, after i installed OS, i have installed all drivers from installation CDs. The beat never fades!

"I have such CDs, but i doubt there are drivers specifically for CD ROM, as CD ROM is easily recognised by Windows, so no drivers needed." There may be IDE or other chipset drivers for the MOBO that Microsoft may not have in the XP driver data base.

I'll definitely try to reinstall some drivers then. Thanks. The beat never fades!

Hi, Here I got some more info that could be useful in helping solving this issue. Many times (not every single time though) when I just insert any CD I get the quick classic Physical Memory Dump blues screen error message for a 0,5 second, than computer restarts. Also I have noticed that my CDROM would read only the first session of a multi-session CD, always. So I’d like to know if exist an utility out there that would let me teach explorer what session to look for as default, as I want that last session to be the default one. Thanks a lot.
