Worked in other computer in this Gateway Celeron 1.2gh it does not recognize that it has a cd or dvd in it. Running WinXP Pro with sp2, roxio 9 and Cyberlink PowerDVD6

go to this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 download winxp sp3 exe follow instructions disregard for IT professionals and developers this is the download you need after installing goto windows update and download and install updates

IF YOU ARE USING ROXIO YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THEIR PX ENGINE FIX BUT FIRST UNISTALL ROXIO AND THEN RUN THE ROXIO PX ENGINE FIX AND THEN REINSTTLL THE ROXIO.

Does the Device Mgr list the Cd drive ? if yes...then there is an issue with the SP3 not alloting a proper IRQ to the HW CD drive, is there any issue with the Drive in the Device Manager properties window ?
else
revert back to SP2 after doing a low-level full format...re-install WinXP SP2....
download this from piratebay and try to install WinXP again....

Windows7 is still being developed and as far as I know it has some compatibility issue with many hardware etc..Check compatibility with manufacture before you look any further.

1. Try to launch Creator Classic to see if it can repair the engine files. a. Double click on the "Roxio Easy Media Creator Home" icon. b. Click "Creator Classic" under the "Applications" section. c. The Windows installer should launch and ask you to insert your installation disc

Try this and see how it works, if it does not, contact me and give me more details

Hi,
Try This:-
My Computer/Right Click On desired Drive/Properties/Options to autoplay required Types Et,c.

about 30 bucks..actually...the first one is usually for entry level, music only work. creator has the ability to burn data cd's and soon, DVD's with a mixing overlap. Nice product actually.

got backup?

Resolved, unsure what I did but a full re-install of xp and all is working after I did my final windows updates. keep in mind that a fresh install of winxp sp2 with none of 88 recommended patches it still wasnt working
