Everything was working fine till last night now when I try to
play any kind of CD in my CD-ROM Drive it wont play when checking the
drive windows wont recognizes it but it says to Please insert a disk
in drive E but the CD is already there ...what could be going wrong?
Around the time this append I was trying to set up Exact Audio Copy
could this application have anything to do with this?

I am running on
Intel Pentium lll
868 MHz
128 0f RAM
Windows XP Pro

Thank you!

What new programs have you added?
Did you do a restart. What is Exact Audio Copy?
Sounds like that has something to do with your problem.
Remove it and try again.

If your CD-ROM is as old as your PC then it is propably cause it is just
old. It must have reached EOL. First symptom of a dying CD-ROM is not
reading recordable CDs. Then Audio CDs. (or vice-versa). Then it dies on
you. Tough luck. Better consider buying a new one, if this is the case
(which is most propable).
Hope this helped.
