DVD/CD-ROM won't play DVD's any more
A Rt. Click on the DVD drive Icon + Properties shows it to be a CD-drive,
with unknown file system. Norton Disk Checker says Master Hard Disk 2 Partition Tables is unreadable. Device Manager says it is a DVD/CD-ROM drive that is working properly. My guess is installing a new hard drive several month's ago must be the root of the problem. Everything else seems to be fine. Where do I go from here? The message I get is that Microsoft encountered a problem and has to close. Thanks for any help with this. -- Joe |

DVD/CD-ROM won't play DVD's any more
Looking further, I find:
D= DVD drive, Standard _NEC DV-5800A E= CD-R/W drive, Standard _NEC NR-7800A Properties under Device Manager shows the same driver for both drives, it's Microsoft 5.1.2535.0, Dated 7/1/01 with same green checked details. I realize they should have different drivers -- Joe "Joe" wrote: A Rt. Click on the DVD drive Icon + Properties shows it to be a CD-drive, with unknown file system.

Are you saying that this is a simple case of a defective drive which should
be replaced? -- Joe "M.I.5¾" wrote: "Joe" wrote in message ...
