XP can see my drive fine, I can read regular cd's just fine, its just when i put a dvd in that it cant read the disc. Powerdvd is all updated for the newest version and Yes I did a clean install. I can play an mpeg movie off a regular cdr in the dvd drive through powerdvd.

sorta strange problem I just noticed. I just tried reading a dvd yesterday since installing XP a few months ago. I figured it should work fine since it reads regular cd's and it read dvd's in win2k. but when I put in a dvd (tried two different ones) the drive just makes a clicking sound like its trying to read but then seems to give up. windows thinks theres no DVD inserted. it's a Matshita SR-8582 once again it reads cd's cdrs music etc... but doesnt seem to like dvd's could a dvd drive "break" in such a way? I'm running Win XP Pro version 2002 with every update from the microsoft page and I tried using windvd and powerdvd (newest versions)

This used to happen to me too (reboots for no reason), It ended up being that my Nvidia drivers were bad (the ones that came with XP) so I upgraded them to the newest ones and everything's cool. So if you have any drivers that you can update, update them.
