I replaced both drives and cables no luck, I upgraded the Motherboard and CPU to a faster (P4)cpu, they read once or twice and stopped, they no longer read. I am using Windows XP professional OS. The CDRW writes and I can read the files on another system, but I see no files when I look onn the one they were written on. they do not see data on disks I purchased either. I do not know what else to try.
