red circle with slash on cd player
If I boot in safe mode the player is usable. I also tried saving to a usb
drive and wa unable to. The drives are recognised by the system but there is something preventing them from being used. the USB error stated it was in use by another computer? I do not believe this is a hardware or driver issue. As when I roll back to a previously known good configuration the device still has a circle with a slash thru it. Is there a security setting that would disable the read write ability to a drive?

red circle with slash on cd player
The only way I could join the forum is to say that I was using VISTA, which is NOT true. I am using Windows XP Pro and I have the "Icon" of a red circle with a slash thru it on all of my local disc harddrives, CD and DVD players. I just noticed this a few days ago. Sometimes my CD and DVD "burners" burn OK and other times I get messages like: redunduncy error, or TS-H492C (Illegal Mode for this track). Can anyone give me info on these errors? Thanks Jerry -- jerrycwo4 |

Hi, Jerry.
Why "join the forum" at all? It simply relayed your question via the "vBulletin USENET gateway" to the Microsoft public news server and is relaying my Reply back to you. Why don't you "cut out the middleman" and post directly to the Microsoft newsgroup yourself? Then your messages won't be delayed, delivered out of sequence, or just plain lost in transmission. And you can connect directly to any of the many WinXP newsgroups. (I see about 150 NGs in several languages, including about 30 in English.) Click he news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rdware_devices or, better yet, he news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...owsxp.hardware That one click will: 1. Start your newsreader (Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail - or other); 2. Create a News Account for you on the Microsoft public news server, which is free and does not require you to log in; 3. Connect you to this Vista hardware newsgroup OR to the WinXP hardware newsgroup; 4. Download the 300 latest messages; and 5. Display the newest message in the Preview Pane for you to read. You should be able to find your question and THIS post there. You may find other replies to your question by that time. After a day or two of familiarization with the OE or WLM interface, you can click Tools | Options and customize it in many ways to suit yourself. I won't try to answer your question here, Jerry. Your best approach would be to ask the question again in the WinXP hardware NG. Good luck. ;) RC -- R. C.
