CD spinup problems
Hiya all I've been having a real shitty problem with XP. Everytime I put a CD in my drive, it just spins and spins for ages. I have to eject it and close the draw, then it works fine. This used to happen sometimes on 2k, but it would BSOD if I'd open the door.
Hiya all
I've been having a real shitty problem with XP. Everytime I put a CD in my drive, it just spins and spins for ages. I have to eject it and close the draw, then it works fine. This used to happen sometimes on 2k, but it would BSOD if I'd open the door. I've tried a few different drive, but it does it to them all. Seems to be on IDE CD-Roms only though. Tried disabling Autoplay, but still no go
Any suggestions greatly appreciated

I've seen this once before, on a similar system.
Never did figure out what caused it -- just moved to a SCSI Cd drive. Maybe it's a power thing? There is an awful lot of stuff in that computer... The other possibility (slim) is that the IDE drives you are trying do not support multisession disks, and all of the disks you tried are multisession (unlikely).
