win XP doesn’t recognize CD or DVD

[dgodzilla]

Win XP recently decided not to recognize my cd or DVD.
I can gain access via a boot disk with cd drivers. I tried to install a backpack cd off the parallel port and the same thing happens. I'm assuming XPs drivers are corrupt but I don't know how to get them......

If you have recently installed or uninstalled a CD writing application, check out http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;270008, this references EZ-Creator, but other CD applications can corrupt the same filter values.
