Hello, perhaps someone could help with this problem. I have put up with it for quite a while and perhaps there is a resolution by now. Any assistance is appreciated.
When I have just booted and I place a data CD in my CD-RW (Aopen 40X) XP reports that there is NO disk in the unit, OR it will open with explorer yet there are no files shown.
To fix the issue I have to reboot with a data disk in the drive, once that is done everything is fine. I can see the files.
I have checked the Microsoft K base and I cannot find a definitive fix, other than a note in one article "you may have to modify the Windows Registry if you have more than 2 IDE devices". I have 2 Hard drives, 1 CR-R/RW and 1 CD/DVD.
Unfortunately I cannot find an article on how to and where in the Registry to increase (or verify) the number of IDE devices that are defined. However this may not be the problem at all.
Funny though, XP seems to know that it is a CD-RW drive.
I have a PIII 800Mhz EB, Asus MB (about 1 year old), 512MB SDRAM.
Thks & Regards,
Jim
