Re: Lost CD Drive

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried the first part of it, but it had no
effect. I also tried to use the hardware diagnostic feature of the installed
Fix-It utilities suite, but it couldn't even see the device.

I was planning to have someone upgrade the processor on this machine in
about a week. I'll probably have him take a look at it if I haven't been
able to fix it before then.

Disk Management just shows C drive, nothing else. The size of the
partition
appears to be correct. There are no other comments, only that C
drive is "Healthy".

I notice a fix for this at the Doug Knox site, but it states
emphatically that it's for XP only, so I'm leaving it alone.
