Windows XP will not recognize when I have a disk in my drive. Device Manager tells me the device is working properly, but it will not spin and when I click on CD in My Computer it tells me there is no disk inserted. Can anyone give me advice. Will I just have to buy a new drive? Thanks, Ray Holt:confused: :confused:

Try updating ur firmware on that drive. I had that same model once and it was a royal pain in the azz. I have a stack of coasters from that bad azz drive.
