Well thats a strange problem that I've never heard of especially if you don't have 
a K drive.

I had a problem that both of my DVD writers wouldn't autorun any CD/DVD. I didn't 
a search on M$ and found a link for additions for WinXP. In there there is an Autoplay 
Repair Wizard

. Click on the Results for: 40 at the bottom.

Now the strange thing with this app is it will only fix one drive at a time. You 
have to do a restart before you can attempt to fix any other drive letter, it fixed 
my problem anyway. You can disable drive letters as well.
