Upgraded bios and Plextor can not read CDs [windows explorer] [plextor]
Q: I upgraded the BIOS of my Plextor 12/10/32A (IDE) to find BIOS version 1.09 and now I can not read CDs in the drive. I use Win XP Pro and I can still burn CDs with the drive. In my computer when I double disc (not update the title of the CD) was not there. (The same happens in Windows Explorer) Anyone know how to fix this?

Re:Uninstalling, rebooting, and letting XP reinstall it worked.
Thanks so much guy.

Re:try using Device Manager to remove the cd drive from the system. Right click the drive in Device Manager, and select either Uninstall or Remove Device (something like that) .. restart the system, and winxp should detect the drive as a new device and reinstall the drivers with the new detected settings for the drive…
this may or may not work, but its worth a try …
good luck =)

Re:I wanted to burn 90 minutes cds and I didn't know what bios version I had. I made the assumption that I would find out what version I had before the upgrade would happen, however the upgrade just upgraded immediately.
Interestingly though, I can read the CDs from DOS. Which suggests that it might be an autoplay thing maybe.

Re:The plextor is master and the only drive plugged into that chain. The hard drive is on a udma 100 by it self. I have a Asus A7V266-E and the secondary controller has a Pioneer DVD (106S) Drive and a 72x Kenwood CDROM (same chain, not udma socket).
Since the upgrade, sometimes when I put a CD in the Kenwood drive it launches the Audio CD program. The only thing I can think of is that I may need to set the Plextor drive to Cable Select. Any thoughts on this?

Re:I'm clueless!
Maybe it doesn't like the cable it's plugged into anymore.
Is it on the secondary cable?
Master or slave?
What other device is plugged into it's cable?:(
