    Hi all I have Samsung CD-Rom SC 148A ,win 2K, my CD drive is sometime working and sometime notworking. recently i have downgraded my OS from Win Xp home sp2 to win 2k (due to install .Net). After this degrading its works fine. from the last week itself only it makes trouble. When i saw device manager it shows the device is working properly.

      Does it sound like it's spinning up, reading a little, stopping, then spinning up again? I once had a Creative drive which was actually a rebadged Samsung. The disc is held onto the drive spindle by a metal spring clip. Over time this spring weakens causing the disc to fly up off the spindle as it speeds up (the spinning disc acts something like an aircraft wing). A temporary cure for this problem is to take the drive apart and bend the clip back into shape, but I found that it wouldn't last long like this. The permanent cure was to replace the drive with a Toshiba. The new drive has lasted five years in my possession and I've now sold the system on. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

        cd-drives hmmm... mine is not even spinning up some times, the cd can't be ejected anymore, the hdd light is on, and after some seconds, the cursor doesn't move anymore. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

          Try the drive cable, it's surprising how often this is the cause. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D
