    hii everyonee!
    kay so i have an ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P DVD drive and it used to work more than fine before; but ever since i tried this hot swap trick from this tutorial to do with burning 360 discs it hasn't worked sincee ;/

    I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 and it recognizes my DVD drive as the E: drive.
    However it does not read discs. Everytime i insert a disc it will load and freeze up for about 20 seconds and then the folder of the E: drive will open and there will be a function to 'write files to blank disc'.
    I dont understand. I'm not inserting blank discs, i've been inserting music CDs and such.

    Also i have flashed the firmware after having no hope with it, thinking this will work but still no luck ;/

    Everythings plugged in properly and like i said it still gets recognized by Windows.
    Discs just don't get read and i can hear sound like it's spinning.

    any suggestionss?
    thannkyouuu! :]

    Are those "hard-pressed" (not recorded recordable) discs?
