    CD drive not working
    I am new to this site. My CD drive quit working some time ago. It is listed in my computer, but does not acknowledge that there is a CD inside. The only disc my computer will recognize is the restore dvd (which I have already tried & it did not help the problem). I've even uninstalled the driver, restarted the computer, it automatically reinstalled, but it still does not work. I have an emachine with windows xp. I saw some mention about bios and things like that, but I don't understand all of that technical stuff. Help!!

    Hi there, I am new to the site too :).

    Sounds a bit weird to me. Have you instaled any new hardware or a new power supply? Also, you don't need drivers for cd drives so what excatly are you installing? Have you tried a lens cleaner? Also, you drive could not be set to the right jumper setting, set it to master! :D

    Hope this helps.

Its something like CDBurnXPPro, do a search at download.com or CDBurnerXPPro??
