MY DVD DRIVES WILL ONLY READ CD'S AND CD ROM'S, DVD'S COME UP AS BLANK DISKS
AND DVD ROMS DONT READ AT ALL. I INSTALLED A NEW SATA DVD DRIVE THINKING MY
IDE DRIVES WENT BAD BUT THE SAME THING, WONT READ DVD'S. ANYONE HAVE ANY
IDEAS AS TO WHATS WRONG. MY PC IS RUNNING XP SP3.

Try deleting the driver in the device driver menu. XP will reinstall
it at boot.
