I'm having an odd problem with my CDRW drive (Lite-On LTR-40125S). The problem just appeared out of nowhere: when I insert ANY CD (audio, RW, CDR) the following happens.
In My Computer view, the CD drive text changes from "CD-RW Drive" to "CD Drive". Message appears: "Please insert a disk into drive E:." Nothing else happens - the disc isn't recognized. It's probably not a fault in the drive itself, since I downloaded SmartBurn application from Lite-On's homepage and it shows the info for different discs correctly. I'm using Windows XP SP1 with InCD version 3.37.0. If I shut down InCD from Task Manager, it makes no difference.
Could this have something to do with my system uptime, it's been without booting at least 2 weeks? Right now I can't boot because of a file download after a long queue, but after maybe few days I'll boot and report if this fixes the problem.
