ok, i uninstalled the windows drivers in the device list for the dvd drive, then reinstalled, still nothing, as a matter of fact, it's even being selective of what game disks it reads, and which ones it won't! GRRRR!
example: it picks up and allows me to browse CD#2 from CoD-MW3 which is useless, 'cause it's just a bunch of data files, then i pop CD#1 back in, nothing! doesn't even display an icon for CoD in the windows explorer DVD drive 'after it spins up like it's reading the darned thing!' aaACCKKK!
ps. gunna bring it back to 'The Source' [old radioshack] and tell them to fix it soon!
