NO AUTOPLAY!!
« on: January 10, 2007, 11:00:57 PM »
Hello,

One day both my CDR and DVDRW stopped working.  No autoplay.  No big deal.  I figured I could just jump start them from "my computer."  Problem is that whenever I rght click the icon, it said insert disc in Drive F or Drive E - their respective drives.  

Next, I tried the autorun fix it tool from Microsoft - NO luck.

I went into registry and all values were correct.

I unplugged and switched the drives - NO LUCK.

I deleted and reintstalled drivers - NO LUCK

FINALLY,  I WENT AND PURCHASED TWO NEW DRIVES AND...you guessed it - NO LUCK :'(!

Can anyone out there please help!  I cant even install software!

Many Many thanks in advance.

Bamboozled!

-Jeff

    darth_96...... It's extremely rare that both the optical drives would fail at the same time ....... So I would be changing out the IDE cable ( I assume both drives are on the same channel )
