    hi,

    I recently purchased a used T43. This is my first thinkpad purchase and I am very satisfied overall but for some reason, although device manager shows cd/dvd-rom device work properly and the latest driver is installed, in the windows explorer I do not see any files in any cd or dvd I try (correct region 1 is selected). Maybe it is something I am missing, some thinkpad hw switch or configuration not sure. The OS is XP professional. I changed folder options to show all files but still nothing is displayed and no errors reported.
    Anybody has any idea what might be wrong here?

    Could try deleting the ide drivers. Windows will install them when rebooted.
