Combo drive reads dvd but not cd?

As the topic mentions, a combo drive on the computer drive i'm working on is only reading dvds. Whats wierd is that the drive reads cds when booting from it(had to reinstall windows from cd). Ever since the reinstall the drive only reads dvds. I have deleted the Upper and lower filters in the registry. Also downloaded the drivers from Dell support. the computer is an Dell inspiron e510 XP SP3. Cd Drive name under device management is TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TS-H492C. HELP! Thanks.

I'll give it a shot. Quick question. Why would only the cd portion not work? Is there 2 eyes?
