Hello, today all of a sudden my computer stopped reading cd's and dvd's that I put inside my cd/dvd drive. Also, it stopped reading flash drives, and yes I tried all usb ports (and no the flash drives are not broken, i tested on 2 flash drives and my psp, they all arnt being read). Also, when I go to "my computer" the cd is being shown but it says there is 0kb. When I click on it, windows media player opens but nothing plays (its an audio cd that is in there). Another thing I noticed was in "my computer" the little loading symbol next the mouse keeps flickering in and out. Another thing I noticed was my hardrive space seemed to have increased. It use to be around 400 something GB of freespace left, now it is 544 free space left. I did not uninstall anything that big, if at all. From the looks of it, it seems everything in "My Computer" seems to be malfunctioning, as I cant use my Cd/dvd drive nor use flash drives. (but usb ports work, just cant read the flash drives and memory storage devices). Please help me out to solve this strange problem. Thanks.
Btw, Im using Vista x64. And everything else on my computer seems to be running quite normally.

Hi, welcome to the forums , first try a shutdown (not restart) and see what happens.
nope. the cd plays normally now, but if i open the cd again and reinsert it will jsut not read it again. Flash drives still not being recognized either.

ANd is it just me or is the post above mine exactly the same problem of mine???? scary
