I'm having a similar problem

I have DVD/CD-RW combination drive.

I have tried installing and uninstalling the drive and drivers, and the computer is saying that all items are working (at least in the system manager). I am running Windows XP Home.

I have uninstalled Real Audio and Windows Media Player and reinstalled only Windows Media Player 11.0

I can get it to read and play DVDs but it won't read any CD-ROMs or Music CDs.

Which leaves me with no way to get the system recovery going.

How can I tell if this is a software or a hardware problem?

Any suggestions?

um, information like what kind of CD-ROM is it? Is it really a CD burner? ...for whoever didn't supply this info yet that is.
