With an XP system, my CD drive doesn't acknowledge there's a CD in there when
there is. Driver status says it's working, I've tried uninstalling,
re-installing, no luck.
Any ideas?

Two thoughts...
1. Hardware failure. Perhaps not practical in a laptop, but if a desktop,
try a different drive.
2. Asking an XP-related question in a .NET programming group is unlikely to
get you a lot of help, so find an appropriate group here:

As you appear to be using a web interface, start here to find an appropriate
group:

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
open the category for Windows XP. Find a group there to post in.

I am having the SAME issue. I put a CD in the drawer, and it just blinks,
then sits there. The green light blinks a couple times, but when I go to My
computer and look at the drive, it's empty. I can eject the disk from the
computer screen, so that responds, but nothing else. Did you fix it? What
did you do??
