CD drives wont read CDs

Post by Ebbing »

Built this computer about a month

AMD Fx 62
ZALMAN CNPS 9500 AM2
XFX 8800 GTX
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe

I have a DVD rom and a CD burner drive. When i put CDs in them they wont auto start and in my computer it shows that they are in there but they will not start up.
Any ideas on what i can do to fix it?

Do they play when you launch them from my computer?

If so it sounds like auto play is disabled, to enable it, follow these instructions for your OS.

Hi,
Just change your Jumper setting.. Change any one of them as primary and another one as secondary ,after change your jumper setting cd writer and dvd rom will work.
