Default CD R CDRW drive locked

I hope someone can give me some insite as to what is happened, A few days
ago I turn the computor on and 3 programs did not load correctly, Norton,
Adaptect aaand zone alarm. The day befor no errors or any problems and
system shut down fine. I atried to do a scan disk thinking I had error and
was told the drive has beeb locked by a drisk utility. I can not restore to
a earlier date and have removed the drive and windows has reinstalled it.
But it still will not work. When I put a CD in the drive you can see it
running but will not come up aand says no disk in drive, Also it will tell
the disk is using msdos and I should beable to continue.

Help.....

If you didn't, remove the drive in question in Safe Mode; there may be more
than one listing of it and Safe Mode is the only place to se if that is
happening.
