CD-ROM unit dissapears randomly when trying to open files from burned CDs Monday, November 19, 2001 at 11:56 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DoWneR_ (1 messages posted) Hi everybody, I have a serious (and boring) problem under XP. Randomly, after burning a CD (avi, gif, exe, ...) with Nero or CDRWIN when I try to access files on the CD, it tries to read the disc for a few seconds, then the computer hangs and then the CD unit just disappears from the Hardware devices. I have no problem displaying the content of the burned CD but it occurs when I try to access the files on the CD. I therefore need to switch off the computer and reboot. I did not have that issue with win2K. It is turing me crazy. Any idea? HELP!
