re: CD drive not working Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 4:40 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (20219 messages posted) "I tried running the windows xp installation cd and it didn't work. That should imply that the drive is not working even outside windows." That depends on what you really did. How did you try to run the XP install disk? If from the CMD prompt, that is not outside of Windows. Can you boot with the XP CD? If the drive is good, then you have one of the most frustrating XP problems on your hands where the only suggested fix (the filters edit) virtually never works.
