Hey All! I am not much of a hardware person, in fact I hate touching computer internals. I have this strange problem: Last night I tried playing a VCD on my ASUS CRW-5224A and I couldnt. First of all the explorer doesnt show the existence of any files on the CD ROM. Using the command prompt, all I get is : device is not ready. Worse is that I can run a CD that has MP3-CDA files and even more puzzling (for me) is that I can use the CDR''s that were supplied when I assembled the computer. Autorun is enabled, so using any of the CDR''s that run (like audio, sw installs etc), they seem to work fine but any pics(jpgs/gifs/mpeg/avi/.dat) dont seem to be read at all. The yellow light seems to blink when the read is taking place, so all the cables are in place and like I said, the CD Drive is NOT broken because it can still play audio. Can someone please help ? Thanks in advance. PS. I explained that I aint much of a h/w person, so pls dont flame .
