It seems some dvd readers can not read data cds :-(
That's really strange. I use 7.3, and I can read data CDs in the DVD drive in my notebook.... I had just assumed that everyone could.
Me too... till I bought this new PC (well new last december). First I thought it was a linux problem, and the suse support people gave me many sugestions; but then I tried in windows, and there it is even worse. In linux at least I can read part of the directory, windows just freezes for 10 minutes.
It's the only CD drive I have, so I don't have a choice, but it has worked -- without exception -- for any CD or DVD I've ever put in the drive. I cannot watch movies now, but that's due to the poor quality of the DVD decoding chip installed in the unit (the company was one of the first to go belly up, and the computer's really too slow for that anyway).
You can speed the player somewhat by compiling xine or whatever yourself. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
