dvd / cd roms not working

TR:
I have a weird problem  ;D  no not me.

Friend gave me her PC to look at saying that the CD / DVD players dont work?  and she was correct, took them out booted up and reinstalled again saying found new hardware etc, but still doesnt work. The PC sees them and will eject the tray but wont recognise any discs?

I have tried putting them in an old tower I have and they work ok..weird huh, friends PC has all the latest drivers etc..anybody have any ideas on what could be the problem.


This has got me baffled  :stars:

Simon:
Do they appear in My Computer and Device Manager, Terry?

TR:
Certainl do Si, but this is the 1st time in many a year I have been stumped with a PC  :stars:

Simon:
If you go to the properties of each drive, then click the Auto Play tab, there might be some settings there that could be tweaked.  Sorry to be vague, I'm not on the PC at the moment. 

TR:
Sorry Si.. I have tried everything even your suggestion, new IDE cables as well...but th eweird thing is .. for some reason 1 of them is now working  :stars:
