I have a 6 month old Pioneer DVR-106D DVD Writer. The problem I have is that suddenly Windows XP stopped reading discs. I can still use it for burning CDs and DVDs. I can use Isobuster to read discs but Windows itself won't recognise the discs. Here are some of the steps I've taken: -Tested the drive on another computer - it works fine. -Tried a different IDE cable -Uninstalled and reinstalled the drive from system properties, including physically disconnecting and then reconnecting the drive. -Uninstalled any program which uses the drive. -Disabled the IMAPI service. -Deleted the 'Upper/Lower Filters' keys in the registry. When the programs were uninstalled and the drive was reinstalled the drive worked fine until I restarted the computer. The drive is detected by Windows and displays the DVD-RW icon in My Computer. However, when I insert any type of disc the icone changes to the of a CD-ROM drive. When I double click it I'm told to insert a disc. As I said before I can burn discs with the drive and the contents of discs are accessible with Isobuster. There is nothing wrong with the drive itself as I've tested it on another computer. There's definitely something accessing the drive because when I use CloneCD for burning discs it gives me a warning saying that CloneCD cannot gain exclusive access to the drive.
