Hey everybody I have a LG 52x CD-Rom and LG 40x 12x 40x CD-RW. I just formated my hd and for some reason my cd-rom wont read anymore and only my burner works. I checked all of the cables and shiznit and it was all fine. Does anybody know how to fix this???

MY PC SPECS

HD - Maxtor 30 gig 7200 rpm
CPU - AMD XP 2000+
Video - Radeon 7500 64 DDR
CD-Rom - LG 52x
CD-RW - LG 40x12x40
RAM - 256 MB DDR
Mother Board - Gigabyte GA-7VRXP
OS - Win XP Pro

remove it from control panel & reboot, windows will find it & put in the proper drivers

How do I remove it from the contral panel? Do you mean when you open my computer and the little picture of the CD-RW is there?

He probably means "remove it from the device manager" Unsure if that will help, but you could try.

Is it detected by the BIOS at bootup?

klicker means open up Device manager, right click the CDROM and select uninstall, if it's not listed there, try uninstalling the IDE controller in device manager and rebooting, that should force it to redetect ide drives.

i have the same CD-Rom driver but it works fine with me

Right click on My Computers -> Propertise -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> CD/DVD Rom Drivers -> Right Click on the Device -> Propertise -> Driver -> Unistall Driver

after u did that just restart and that should fix it
