(5) Error reading Inquiry Data for devices.

[kayleigh]

Microsoft has a utility available called EnumCD.exe. It will simply scan for CD/DVD drives and return their properties. This will tell you whether Windows is seeing the drive correctly. This is the information it returns; I bolded information that could indicate an error.
