Hey..First time here..need help bad. My cd rom quit working coincidently after installing xp service pack about a month ago.. went ahead and installed service pack 2 yesterday, no fixes in there. It seems that I've tried everything including a HP System recovery..didn't work. Thing is, I;m not getting any type of error message, when I run diagnostics it says it's running fine. It will open but NOTHING will play. I can go into My Computer and the only response I get is out of the "eject" button. I dont know what else to do and of course Microsoft was of no help. It may just be a coincidence as to the timing of the downloads but it all worked fine before. Anybody please help me with any ideas.

Thanks in advance

You can always reverse SP2 -- and go back to SP1 !

But first I would stop Norton -- then go to device manager and uninstall that burner and reboot.
