Unhappy CDRW acting up

Well a new problem after my re install of xp. My cdrw wants to keep popping in and out. It finally stays out after my boot up. During the bootup it takes it several times of in and out before windows will load. Think a long time ago there was a fix for this or something. Anyone remember? Or anyone have this happen to them?

When ever I have seen it, it was a bad drive.

Try uninstalling it, then reboot and see if XP installs it again.

Do you have any burning software like Easy CD Creator installed?

Now why didn't I think of that! Of course that worked..
I try to make things more complicated than they really are sometimes. Thanks for your help!
