I am running and dual boot WinXP SP 2/Win 98 system with Athlon 2666 MHz. I have a Gygabyte 7VT600RZ motherboard.I have a BTS 58X CD-ROM and Pioneer A05 DVD-ROM in system. Not to longer ago the DVD-ROM stop recognizing discs though the DVD-ROM itself is seen in Windows Explorer. I replaced the drive with an older A04 I had for just such an emergency but it did the same thing. I went out and bought a new DVD-ROM and got the same result. I then noticed that the CD-ROM had the same problem. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have the current bios on my motherboard and I believe all firmware is up to date on the drives but can't figure out what could be wrong.

Hi Hard B!

Since you have tried different cd-rom/dvd-rom drives and still get the same result, then the problem is probably in the registry. Please download the file cdgone.zip and extract the files to your desktop. Once extracted, locate the cdgone.reg file and double-click it to run it. Click YES to the warning: Are you sure you want to add the information in FILE LOCATION HERE\cdgone.reg to the registry? Then reboot your computer and once rebooted, check and see if your cd/dvd-rom drives are now working again.

Hi there
Did u try and change the IDE cable that connects to the cd\dvd.
If they all have the same problem maybe it is the cable.
U can try and connect the device to b a slave the the HDD if it isn't sata
