A good place to start would probably be to post details of your problem to a newsgroup supporting those running XP rather than one supporting those using the older Windows Millennium (windowsme) operating system. However .... You say you cannot use either your CD or DVD reader (writer). What do you see when you check in the Device Manager? Right click, My Computer | Properties | Hardware | Device Manager. Do you see both of the drives listed under DVD/CD-ROM drives (click the + to expand)? If yes, check the Properties for each drive, what does it say for Device Status on the General tab? If the drives are not listed in the Device Manager then it is possible that they are not being recognised for some reason by the system bios or even that you have moved the PC and either their data or power cable has become dislodged. -- Mike Maltby |
