Thanks for the reply, I checked everything and it is still a no go. I can open them up, but when I put a CD in, it isnt read. One of my CD-RW drives isnt even read as a cd-rw, just a normal cd drive...that one is too old to put the manufacturers firmware on, and the other one I have it up to date. When I go into properties, it reads my 52x CD-RW and the correct thing but it doesnt work. And my 48x CD-RW is read as a CD-Rom drive.
