hii everyonee!
kay so i have an ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P DVD drive and it used to work more than fine before; but ever since i tried this hot swap trick from this tutorial to do with burning 360 discs it hasn't worked sincee ;/

I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 and it recognizes my DVD drive as the E: drive.
However it does not read discs. Everytime i insert a disc it will load and freeze up for about 20 seconds and then the folder of the E: drive will open and there will be a function to 'write files to blank disc'.
I dont understand. I'm not inserting blank discs, i've been inserting music CDs and such.

Also i have flashed the firmware after having no hope with it, thinking this will work but still no luck ;/

Everythings plugged in properly and like i said it still gets recognized by Windows.
Discs just don't get read and i can hear sound like it's spinning.

any suggestionss?
thannkyouuu! :]

Are those "hard-pressed" (not recorded recordable) discs?
