cd not seen by windows xp sp2
compaq presario 1300nx AMD 2000
drive is recognized in BIOS. Recognized in startup dialog. Device manager indicates problem. I tried uninstall and then install. Msg is that windows has loaded drivers but can't find device. I have changed cables which didn't help. It was working find 5 hours ago. Light blinks, disk spins. Is this a problem anyone has had with XP? All thoughts will be appreciated. It is not a year old yet but I have a feeling I might as well get a new one.
