I have a new PX-708A DVD-Writer in my new computer.
From the beginning the drive (most times) won't read CDs. Only DVDs.

- Sometimes it read one CD after boot, but the next CD I give into the
drive is not recognised.
- I already sent the drive to plexor, they replaced it, and now I have
the same problem with my new drive
- I tried using a cleaning-CD, nothing changes
- I tried to install cdgone.reg, and XP_CD-DVD-Fix.exe but no changes
except:
Sometimes the drive works normaly with CDs, till I start the computer
again, then the drive doesn't recognise any CD. (I'm always talking bout
original CDs from motherboard, or WinXP)
- I already checked cables, changed from prim master to second master,

I tried don't starting WinXP (I entered the Bios) and
put a CD in my drive, but there are the same effects: One time the light
of the drive turns green (CD is recognised (I think)), again and again,
then I start the computer again, put a CD into drive, and the light
stays yellow.

my System:
WinXP SP1
MB: Asus P4P800 Del
Grafic: Asus V9950
Prim Master: Plextor PX-708A
Prim Slave: Plextor PX-116A
Sec Master: Zip 250MB
SATA-HD: Maxtor 200GB
1GB Ram
2-PCI-Slot: USR int modem
5-PCI-Slot: Pinnacle PCTVSat CI
 
sorry I forgot to tell,
I already installed newest firmware on my plextor, and updated my Bios.
 
My plextor PX-708A can't read CDs (most times), I told before.
Ok I tried this:
Built the thing in my old computer (P2, Win95)
From 20 times booting my computer the drive recognised 18 times correct all
CDs. 2 Times he don't recognised any CD after I put the Asus-grafik-CD in
it.
One time he recognised the asus-grafik-CD as an Audio-CD.? But there is no
audio-track on it.

I'm not sure, but maybe this happens only after I put the asus-CD in the
drive.
What should I do now? Exchange the drive again?
