My cdrw is no longer working it seems to be recognized in
my computer but does not register the cd that is in the
drive. I have an XP Pavillion, so the drive is oem fun
fun. It is a sony crx215e5. I can not find drivers on
sony for it or any other driver website i have looked
at. I have tried uninstalling it in safe mode and normal
mode to have windows reinstall it. It finds it and then
it still does not work I have tried to choose the drivers
but nothing works, no programs have been added to the
computer so there should not be a problem there. Any
suggestions would be great.
 
Nickie, is the CD you're trying to read from the CD-RW
drive a blank CD or has data been burned to CD? I once had
the same problem, but it happend with only once CD. After
hours of nearly going bald as a result of tearing my hair
out, I found out that the CD hadn't been recorded
properly. All other CD's worked on the drive except that
specific one. See if other CD's will work on that drive.
