Hi, Here's hoping someone can help. I have a custom built Athlon 1.1 Ghz PC with 264 Meg of RAM running WindowsXP Pro. I've added a few new drives to the extent that I only have 1 power cable left so can only use one CD/DVD Drive. I have two drives I can switch between (a CD-RW and a DVD). Both drives will Auto run and load software (i.e. games etc.) but neither drive will allow access to bog standard folders and files on CD. I've problems accessing with a Photo CD with 24 x 4.5 Mb JPEG files and a Photoshop CD that has Folders containing lessons on it. Does anyone know what might be the problem??
Thanks in advance. :?:

Jump to PostCan those CDs be read in a different PC? It might be the CDs themselves which are at fault. They may have been written with a session writing software package, and incorrectly 'closed'.
Jump to PostCan you access the folder and files from 'My Computer'? What error message do you get if not?
Jump to PostThis is worth a try:
Right-click 'My Computer' and select 'Properties'
Choose Hardware -> Device Manager
Expand the entries for DVD/CD drives, right-click each in turn, and choose 'Uninstall'
Reboot your system, allowing Windows to redetect and reinstall them, and see if the problem persists.
