Dell Win 2k Pro machine, 128 Megs, adequate for what it is used for.

Drives are seen in Explorer, but when clicking on them I get error message:
Drive inaccessible, incorrect function. Roxio is not installed, never has
been to my knowledge, only Nero. I can write to the CD-R burner & floppy,
but can't read from any removable media drives, including via the USB
channel.

Haven't found a working solution on the MS KB, any other suggestions?

Could this be a hardware failure?
