PC: Dell laptop Latitude, CD Drive: TEAC CD-224E

CD/DVD drive will only play audio CD's, CD-R but but not DVD's after installing a ripping program (Xilisoft I think it was, not Smart Ripper). It flicks a mini CD icon and goes "Please insert a disk into drive D:"

What I have done:
- Unstalled the ripping program.
- Killed all ASPI layers (using typical Kill ASPI program).
- Installed Adaptec ASPI, both the older 6.somthing version and the newer 7.1. Didn't work, killed it.
- Installed Nero ASPI. Same.
- Installed Force ASPI. Same.
- Uninstalled driver/re-installed it. Updated driver (using Win XP).
- Device Manager> Show hitten deviced> deleted all Force app.
- Formattet Hard Drive using Win XP SP2.
- Tried to format using DOS. Got following message: "...the volume is in use by antoher process. Format may run if this volume is dismounted first. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume?" Y > "Cannot lock the driver. The volume is still in use."

Any suggestions?

A very vigilant effort to correct what would normally be affecting the playback of DVD's on your part, but you've overlooked the obvious...your drive is only a CD-ROM and cannot read or write DVD's.

Well edited by ddp me. I'm sure I played DVD on this old thing a while back. Maybe not though....
