Hi everyone, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I'm having
little luck posting elsewhere.

I have two different CD Rom drives (one is a CDRW) and they are from two
different manufacturers. It seems that I can WRITE to the CDRW, but neither
drive can read CDR's - ones I burned ions ago that used to read without
issues.

I recently installed service pack 4 and uninstalled it. Still, my drives
won't read the CDR's. I'm desperate as I have so much work I need to
retrieve from these CDR's.

Please, if anyone knows anything (even if you don't) please post & cc: me on
an email also - this way I'm sure to get it.

Thank you so much in advance.
 
Hi there, I'm not sure how much help I will be but I have a solution (I think).

I had a similar problem a while back in where my CDRW would read CDRs, but not burn them. I *think* your problem could be related. What I did was download ATAPI drivers for Windows 2000 (Forgive my I cannot remember if its ATAPI or ASPI, if you do a search you should find it). I sure hope that helps, bye.
 
I couldn't find the driver you spoke of!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
