Problem:
the computer can find the cd-rom (Drive F: ), but when I put in a cd, it won't read it (I have turned off the auto-run feature).
When I double click on the cd icon (in 'my computer') it says: Please insert a disk into drive F:
I've tried now with 10 different cds, and all the same: "please insert a disk into drive F:"
I've tried now two times to uninstall the cd-rom and install it again, still the same
I checked the cables, all inserted as they should be, still same problem
info:
OS: Windows 2000 Pro
C: Main HDD
D: secondary HDD
E: part 2 of main HDD
F: CD-Rom
What to do now?

Three possibilities I can think of:
1. Dirty lens
2. It's buggered and you need a new one
3. You have allot of scratched cd's!
