WindowsXP pro SP1 CD not readable now on SP3
I have a licensed OEM MSWindowsXPpro SP1 CD that I used to get on
WindowsXPpro and after upgrading to SP3 and all the security patches, my system is not reading the old SP1 CD. I have had this problem for a number of years and have search everywhere I could possibly search, but to no avail. The same problem happened with my OfficeXPpro CD as well. I put it in the drive and the system just keeps blinking the read lamp on my CD drive but nother seems to happen. Any ideas what changed in later service packs that could have caused this to happen? Thanks, --Lou |

Thanks, --Lou Make a copy and use that. I did that recently with a copy of XP Pro and the copy was recognized and XP got installed without a hitch. -- C |

According to your post Your CD reader has expired. Time to change it to a new one.

Peter, My CD reader reads other CDs correctly so I think the driver is
working from that standpoint. I would make a copy of the XPpro CD if I could get other PCs to read it. I will try that route. Thanks for the suggestions. --Lou "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ...

If ISO Recorder cannot copy the disk, or if the CD drive cannot read the copy, I would suspect there is a problem with your CD drive. It might be time to start shopping for a new one.

If ISO Recorder cannot copy the disk, or if the CD drive cannot read the copy, I would suspect there is a problem with your CD drive. It might be time to start shopping for a new one. Another possible culprit is copy protection drivers that are sometimes installed by games. These drivers interfere with normal CD/DVD drive operation (Starforce and Securom come to mind but there are others like older versions of Roxio), and a few remain installed even after the games themselves are uninstalled. That said, if device manager and the registry looks good, try another drive. "Lou Ingwersen" wrote in message ...
