I am encountering problem with my Plextor PX-32TS CD-ROM after I installed Windows 2000 (Final Build 2195). The drive often time will stop spinning and respins as if a CD was just newly inserted. Sometimes this problem could last for a few minutes, and it is very annoying while playing games or when I'm just trying to access some files or folders on a CD. Please help if anyone knows how to deal with it. Appreciate it!

Yes my Plextor CD-ROM drive is a SCSI one, and well I will try the idea that you have given. I don't think this would work consistently since I believe I do leave a CD in the drive most of the time. But I will keep in mind to try that the next few times that I restart my windows. Thanks for the effort.
