Have had a problem for many months with my XP Pro system I updated all new harddrive months ago with ASRock N68C GS fx motherboard / memory as well as two new LG cdrom/dvd drives .. all new patches and SP3 installed .. everything works great ...
I usually leave my PC running and then log into and set up my desktop to gain access to emails / programs and web sites when needed .. Have been doing this for many years. ... have a second fan for cooling and the office desk is open for good air flow to the PC case .. The PC operating health is usually in tip top shape with all latest virus and spam protection and tryh keep drivers in most updated condition ..
BUT have one area of concern that is driving me crazy .
Scenario: I put in a CDdisc into one of my two drives ( doesn't matter what it is whether it is dvd / cd or data ... the PC cannot see this disc and reports there is no disc in tray please insert disc .. BUT when I reboot the PC it finds it quite readily and will do so for many hours to a day .. but after that it won't find . Am therefore confined to having to reboot PC at least once a day rather than say twice a week of which I did in the past before this problem arose.. There has to be something running or not running to create this problem .. and rebooting clears the way to the PC reading an inserted Disc .. Ideas ???
