Lite on DVD Combo disk read failure

I have an external USB Lite on sohc 5232k combo dvd/cdrw rom installed on windows xp pro sp2. System devices acknowledges the dvd rom under the dvd/cdrom devices with windows xp cdrom.sys driver installed, reporting the device is working correctly The other drivers are imapi.sys, redbook.sys and storprop.DLL. These are the same system files loaded for my standard cdrom drive. The DVD/CDR ROM isn't recognizing any disk of any type in the drive. I've uninstalled and rebooted, updated the firmware, cleaned the drive and tried every cdrom system driver listed in the windows xp hardware driver installation program. Nothing works. Why are so many peolple experiencing this same problem but no one knows how to fix it? What else could/should we do?

Seen by windows as cd rom drive only

Check your device manager and look for flags or exculmation marks under the drive.
If none found, go to lite-on and download most recent drivers for the drive.

LITEON DVD/CD-RW CAN READ DVD BUT NOT AUDIO/DATA CD.

I would suggest cleaning the drive with a cleaning dvd, $19.99 at most retailers. Or you can open up your computer and verify all connections to the drive are good, disconnect and re-connect to be sure. Hope this helps.
