Comment: Please help! I have recently installed a new CDRW into my PC. It is set up as primary slave and my system recognises the device on start up. My OS (Win XP Pro) recognsies the device details too but when i insert a CD (blank or otherwise) it cannot read the data or write to the CD. Windows does not say 'insert a CD' so it knows there is one loaded but it just cannot read it. When i put the CD into my DVD device it reads it perfectly. Can anyone help - its so frustrating! Many thanks.
