[dba-Tech] Explorer oddness

Hi gang
 
Got something a little strange here. My pc has stopped reading cd's. I can
put a music cd in the drive, and it'll play, and I'll be able to browse it
and rip it (for my own personal use), but I can't read data cd's. The weird
thing is that I can still read data DVD's in it, and burn data cd's,
although the verification bit won't work. They work fine in other pc's so
I've never really had a huge problem with it.
 
I'm only really bothered now because I had to find some old data that was
archived on 100mb zip disks, and I thought I'd take the opportunity to put
them all on the NAS so they're easier to access... I put a zip disk in to
get a specific file not 10 minutes ago and it was fine. Now I can't browse
it... I'd go and check on another pc, but we don't have any other zip drives
in the building any more. Well, not working ones at any rate, which was the
other motive for my archiving.
 
The pc is fairly clean - I've run spybot and microsoft anti spyware every
night, and I've just run a virus scan, I'm clean... hijackthis doesn't show
anything either... Has anyone got any ideas?
 
TIA
 
 
Jon
