DVD-ROM Read My CD As Audio

Today's lunch is a problem with my DVD ROM... well, it's quite old but still works fine. I have a bunch of unknown CDs and DVDs (those without cover), and then I tried one by one....

After couples of CD, I found my Wav CD Collection which stores many of pictures, wav files and videos. I tried it once and it reads fine, then I tried the other CDs...

After awhile, I decided to try replacing my Windows Sound effect with those wav in that CD, BUT.....

Its CD's Type turn into Music and when I open it, only single file remains "Track00.cda"

Oh my.... something is wrong.... Then I tried other CDs which are I already know what inside, but all give me the same results....

Then next step is tried to the other DVD device (my DVD-RW). And it seems all my CDs were just fine.. so, the problem remains is what happened to my DVD-ROM?

Here is the way  I recovered it:

Black Screen After Installing VGA Driver

Hi, I'm back again.  How are you today?

Let's get to our Business... Since my laptop is R.I.P. (well it's about its AC adaptor), I decided to work on my 10 years old Desktop. When I'm in the middle of my works, *Bang* *Kaboom* "Electricity Gone" (Fav. Quotes by Moonie - A Friend From Lekool). When it back, I turned on my power button.... And......


The Windows didn't work. Tried to use recovery console, it works but errors errors keep appears.... So, I decided to re-install my XP.

Formatting, installing, setting this and that... Download and installing drivers (my CD Drivers were broken T_T )... - Still Fine - ..... Installing VGA, need restart, OK. -Restarting-... then -Windows Loading screen..... then BLACK SCREEN waiting for 10 mins, but still nothing, the Monitor LED blinking (but there is no "No Signal" indicator), trying keyboard numlock.... can't... it's not working....

What will you gonna do? Kick your CPU? Hammer down your monitor and burn it away!

Wait wait.... Chill... Relax... and Googling.... Trying to start windows in Safe Mode And VGA mode -That's work, but didn't fix the problem-.... googling again.....

How To Enter Safe Mode or VGA mode?
When your CPU started, keep pressing F8, Choose the boot device from your HDD device, but keep pressing F8 again.... and you'll end up in another menu:
- Safe Mode
- Safe Mode with Networking (you can use internet with this one)
- blablablaa ( I don't remember)

- Enable VGA mode (This one is for VGA mode)
- blablabla (etc. :p )

Found This so many solutions at: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=4391

Trying one by one... checking my Bios from this solution:


settings i changed two settings:
- Plug And Play O/S (Advanced > PCI/PnP Settings): Changed from Yes to No.
- Initiate Graphic Adapter (Advanced > Chipset Settings > North Bridge Chipset Configuration): Changed from PEG/PCI to PCI/PEG.

But.... It's already been like that.... so, I didn't change any.... but reading at forum above, this problem is occurred with those Nvidia and ATI user.... also, all those solutions are leading into On-Board Video card....  *a lamp appeared above my head*

This what I do:
