Windows Explorer cannot see music or data discs loaded into either the
DVD/CD-RW drive or the DVD-RAM drive.
This is after some reorganising and resizing of the partitions on my systems
two hard drives, and reassignment of drive letters to disc and partition
sequence.
That is: SATA HDD with Primary C:, Logicals D:\, E:\ and F:\
IDE HDD with Logicals G:\, H:\ and I:\
DVD/CD-RW is J:\
DVD-RAM is K:\
Windows (XP Home S/Pack 2) Disk Management recognises all disks, partitions
and their individual details. This includes the two ROM drives and their
loaded discs and shows all as healthy.
The Windows 'System Properties/Hardware/Device Manager' recognises the Rom
devices and shows them in working order.
Media players open and see audio files and play them.
I have gone through the processes of uninstalling ROM drivers/Bootup/ new
hardware recognition/driver reinstall Bootup.
It may be significant to mention that there is no spin up when the discs are
inserted.
It seems Windows Explorer is the only part of the system that can't see the
inserted media and data discs on drives J:\ and K:\.
Any further advice or links to tech pages would be appreciated.
Cheers,
TerryS.
