I'm struggling to find a fix for this issue aside from a reinstall of Windows...

It's a Liteon CDRW Drive, here is the situation:

1) You can boot CDs fine at startup
2) Windows XP recognises the drive and doesn't show any issues.
3) If you open the drive in Explorer it doesn't show the contents, only 0 bytes.
4) Nero CD Test app recognised the presence of files on the disc and gave read speed results ok.
5) I've tried different CDs and the drive has read all the CDs when connected in another PC.
6) I've run sfc /scannow and the problem exists in safemode.
7) If you load Windows Media Player it will play the CD??

Any thoughts or suggestions would be really welcome...

I'm assuming something is stuffed in XP either connected to Nero, drivers or Windows XP burn wizard...
