In summary, the person is having trouble with a mini CD that works on other computers but not on their Samsung DVD combo drive. They are running Windows XP Professional 2002 service pack 2 and are considering upgrading the drivers or uninstalling the service pack. They are also advised to try cleaning the head of their combo drive.

More info please.
For starters...
What OS are you running ?
Secondly, it might be that your Samsung needs to upgrade the drivers.
But this depends on how you answer the first question.

Ok, thanks for that..
That in itself might be the problem.
I am not absolutely sure what the situation is for XP Pro SP 2, but I can tell you, that XP SP 2 managed to screw up the drivers on about 10% of all PC's it has been installed on.
I am not saying that it is definitely the case here, but you might want to try uninstalling SP2 and seeing if it makes any difference.
Then again, you might want to have a look at these...
It could also be a matter of drivers for your samsung.

1. Why won't my mini CD work on my computer?
There could be several reasons why your mini CD may not be working. It could be due to compatibility issues, a dirty or damaged disc, or problems with the disc drive itself.
2. How do I know if my computer is compatible with mini CDs?
Most modern computers are equipped with disc drives that can read mini CDs. However, if your computer is older or does not have a disc drive at all, it may not be compatible. You can also check the specifications of your computer or disc drive to see if it supports mini CDs.
3. What can I do if my mini CD is dirty or damaged?
If your mini CD is dirty, you can try cleaning it with a soft cloth and some rubbing alcohol. If it is scratched or damaged, you may need to try using a different disc or use a disc repair kit to fix it. In some cases, the disc may be irreparable and will need to be replaced.
4. How can I troubleshoot problems with my disc drive?
If you suspect that the issue lies with your disc drive, you can try cleaning the lens with a disc drive cleaning kit. You can also check for any loose connections or try updating the drivers for your disc drive. If these steps do not work, the disc drive may be faulty and will need to be repaired or replaced.
5. Are there any alternative methods for accessing the information on a mini CD?
If your computer is not compatible with mini CDs, you can try using an external disc drive that supports mini CDs. Another option is to transfer the information on the mini CD to a USB drive or upload it to a cloud storage service. You can also check if the information is available for download online.
