My nephew called me with a problem regarding his Lite-On SOHW 1693S CD/DVD RW drive. The drive plays DVD's fine but will not play music CD's or read data CD's. The computer is about 1 year old and this problem started about 1 month ago. He's running Windows XP.

The drive shows up in My Computer and in Device Manager where it is listed as working properly. If you put in a music or data CD and attempt to explore it the window that appears shows no files on the disc.

I had him uninstall the drive via Device Manager and after reboot there was no change in the problem.

I had him upgrade to the newest firmware from the Lite-On website also without a change in the problem.

I'm thinking that the drive itself is malfunctioning and needs replacing.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike
