Gerardo,
Thanks for the quick response.
When I reboot with a cd in the tray, I can read it no
problem. But when I change the cd and try again to read
the new one ( or even if I replace the original one ), I
can't read it anymore. This happens on both my DVD and CD
drives.
With the floppy, I used a preformatted disk.
