I'm not sure what to do on this one, so I'm looking for a little advice or help. I have a CD-Rom drive that is only reading a CD when I initially boot the PC. If I swap the CD after I'm in windows, it won't read it or any future CDs and it won't even acknowledge a CD is in the drive. When this occurs, I can't even access the drive from a dos prompt. Windows XP tells me there is no problem with the device. I have uninstalled the drive, drivers, etc. using the windows device manager with reboots to no avail. Now, if I go through Nero, it senses the CD, will let me copy the CD, however, I can't access the files, file structure, or see anything on the CD. I'm thinking something is corrupted somewhere, but at this point I don't know where to look and this one has me stumped. Any Suggestions???

This is actually a brand new drive. I was having this issue with my old 4yr old CD drive and I thought it was failing. I finally got around to buying a new CD-ROM drive and I replaced it yesterday. I have the jumper set to master and I have tried it with the old cable and the new one that came with the drive. I've read different things on Roxio and Nero messing up CD Rom drivers and I thought it might have something to do with the drivers.
