Optical Media Drive Problem

[Trepidati0n]

Not sure when this started. And by Google Fu is failing me.

1. I have a DVD burner in my machine.
2. I can see the drive letter
3. I can burn discs
4. I can rip discs (with AnyDVD and MyMovies)
5. I can play discs.

However, I cannot "browse" the files on the drive any. In the case of a DVD, I cannot see the audio and video TS directories. When I double click on the drive letter it says "please insert disc". The same applies to data DVD's.

I know this was working a few months ago...but somehow between now and then it broke. Any ideas?

probably not your issue, but did you check for any firmware updates for the drive?
