*snip* Thank you very much for the information. I will have to double check with my son but I dont think there was any Device Error listed. *snip* This may sound way to easy - but it could work. Put a laser lens cleaner disk in and let it clean the lens. Have seen this "fix" many a cdrom problem. Tom

Hi Tom, Thanks for the input. Unless I missed something, I dont think that would work if the disk doesnt spin which I am presuming it doesnt given the error message of disk not ready? On the other hand I will definitely file that hint for future reference. Thanks.
