Arrow Can't Read Cd
Hello there,

I recently had to format my hard drive and now my CD can't read any of my CD with copied photos (or anything else)
It just shows that there is a blank CD (and it's not)

PLEASE help!!!!!
Marina

It does not read ANY copy no matter from where I get it from. When I copied the CDs we checked it all and all seem to be fine. I installed the same Windows XP and do not understand how come it was reading it before I formated the hard drive. All worked fine before and now the ones that worked do not work. All because I formated. COuld it be maybe I need some codec... or something to read them ...
THANKS a million for your help
