Sorry, I didn't see the original post, but I have had this happen to me
several times. It seems that every once in a while I find a CD that the
Plextor drive in my main machine won't even recognize that a CD is in the
drive. And these CD's are several years old so I don't think they are
copy protected.
What is strange is that usually I can move the CD to another machine which
has a DVD-ROM drive and it will read it just fine. Sometimes the opposite
is true as well. A few days ago I tried to rip a CD-R (by a local band
which released it that way, not a duplicate) and CD paranoia could not rip
it in the DVD drive. However I moved it to the Plextor CD recorder drive
and CD paranoia ripped it just fine.
Have you tried it in a different machine?
