cd rom drive is still missing
Hi people--Thanks for all the replies to my first post. My problem still
exists. I tried everything that you all suggested. I tried to remove the ide controllers in safemode and let windows detect them in normal mode. Which windows did. Still exclamation mark beside primary and secondary ide controllers in device manager. It does not list cd rom in device manager in normal mode, but does in safemode. It lists a cd controller in normal mode mitsumi double speed cd rom controller which has an exclamation mark beside it. Still no cd rom drive letter when I click on my computer. The drive letter before it disappeared was m. I thought that kind of off since normally its d or e. The pc is an hp pavilion xt953 with pentium 3 and windows millenium. I'm at my wits end with this machine. If anyone out there has anymore ideas, I'd really appreciate a reply. -- Ron M |

Hi
Turn you system off, then physically disconnect and remove the cd drive from your system, reboot. Then turn your system off **completely** again. When your cd drive is re-connected, reboot and let Windows re-detect it. If that doesn't work, think about purchasing a new cd drive. -- Will Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "rlm44" wrote in message ...
