CD Rom will not read/write

[Guest Flip]

After installing SP2 the CD Rom will not read/write and freezes the computer

for a while. Then the CDR will disapear from the MY Computer till I

reboot.

 

How do I fix this?

Try unplugging the computer and then unplugging the CDROM. Plug the

computer back in and boot up. Turn the computer off, unplug it again and

replug the CDROM. Turn the computer on and see if it recognizes the

"new" CDROM.

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason

backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a

very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs

of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so

the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason

synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock
