I never had that problem, but my dvd-rw can only read certain brands of cd/dvdrw.

Just buy a new CD-Rom drive. They're cheap as water. It's like whining about a floppy drive that won't save. You don't fix it. You just buy a new one.

hmmm it seems that my bi cd was so beloved by the cd rom that when i removed it
the computor was convinced that it was still there the answer was simple play a music cd and it returned to normal

Could just be the powersupply

Try unplugging the power/IDE cables from it...or check the MFG's site for a firmware upgrade. Or just buy a new one - probably your best.

cd rom drive problem

Don't see what the problem is here. CD-Rom drives are dispensable.
