I have a Creative 52X CDROM and one day the drive just stopped reading discs and continued to spit them out for some reason. I have tried everything I can think of. I've looked for firmware updates to no avail, tried changing the IDE ribbon, tried changing master/slave settings with my Plextor, tried removing the device in windows, looked for CMOS settings, it won't even read in DOS mode. The drive just chugs a few times and spits out the disc regardless of the format (CDR, CDRW or pressed CD). My plextor drive (now back as master) reads any disc perfectly. I desperately need to format soon. Please help!
