Has anyone eXPerienced losing the ability to install
software or read discs? My CDR, DVD, card readers and
floppy have lost the ability to read anything, new
software or burned backup CD's, however, the CDR and DVD
will recognize and play an audio CD but without sound.

Computer is a 1.6 P4, Intel mother board, 512mb DDR ram,
XP home, Sony DVD, Yamaha CDR, HP card reader on printer,
generic USB card reader and generic floppy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
