Explorer cannot read files on CD
Sharon
problem that I have been researching for a long time, and no solution yet.
Hope someone can help.
I have two CD drives installed, one is a burner. They are recognized in the
bios and show up in My Computer. When I click to open, I get a blank page.
I can access these files in Management Console and they show up in Volumes
when I look at the properties. The strange part is that they will show up
by disc name in My Computer only after a reboot with the disc in the drive.
I have changed the registry to allow Automatic Insert Notification, but this
only works after a reboot also. The burner starts spinning and the green
led stays on as soon as I insert a disc and does not turn off until I eject
the disc. Not sure if that is normal behavior.
I am sure it is not the hardware, as it happens with both of them. When I
do get them to work, all is OK. They recognize data, music, pictures. One
more thing, I can open Media player and it will find the music CD and play
as normal. This make me think that they seem to need some kind of command
to operate. Is this possible.
Any ideas out there? I have been troubleshooting for days now, and can't
leave this alone. BTW, my main computer is set up exactly the same way with
no trouble.
