My files on Cd Drive became invisible. In fact, my CD Drive is recognised and autorun is working but I simply can't explore content of CD. I believe that installation of Nero or Clone caused problems. Any idea to how to fix it?

If you are using WInXP to read the cd-rw in nero you must be logged in as adminstrator for neor to work right, I have to do that to read and write the cd-rw. If this dont work sorry.

Do you get any error messages or any Explorer activity when you double click on the drive?
IsoBuster is a free program that will read cds that Windows can't. It's a good program to have until you figure out the problem:
