>Is there software that would make it not recognize DVDs while CDs mount OK?
Unlikely, but I never say never when it comes to software or driver induced problems. Can you boot from a DVD containing the OS? That would rule this out. The problem could be accumulated dust or a hairball inside the drive. Do you have a can of compressed air to blow it out with? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
