From: Lou Ingwersen on 8 Apr 2010 12:51 I have a licensed OEM MSWindowsXPpro SP1 CD that I used to get on WindowsXPpro and after upgrading to SP3 and all the security patches, my system is not reading the old SP1 CD. I have had this problem for a number of years and have search everywhere I could possibly search, but to no avail. The same problem happened with my OfficeXPpro CD as well. I put it in the drive and the system just keeps blinking the read lamp on my CD drive but nother seems to happen. Any ideas what changed in later service packs that could have caused this to happen? Thanks, --Lou

I did that recently with a copy of XP Pro and the copy was recognized and XP got installed without a hitch. -- C

Time to change it to a new one. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

From: Lou Ingwersen on 8 Apr 2010 14:56 Peter, My CD reader reads other CDs correctly so I think the driver is working from that standpoint. I would make a copy of the XPpro CD if I could get other PCs to read it. I will try that route. Thanks for the suggestions. --Lou "Peter Foldes" <okf22(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:ujkmJB01KHA.6108(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > According to your post Your CD reader has expired.

Use ISO Recorder to make a copy of your XP install CD. If ISO Recorder cannot copy the disk, or if the CD drive cannot read the copy, I would suspect there is a problem with your CD drive. It might be time to start shopping for a new one. > "Peter Foldes" <okf22(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:ujkmJB01KHA.6108(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > According to your post Your CD reader has expired.
