Re: cdrom not working

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Sorry, but "it isn't working" is too little info for me to help in any meaningful way. Maybe someone else can infer what you're not saying or engage you in a long series of questions about your system, what you've done, and exactly what you're trying to do with what software. Good luck.

Yes BIOS sees the device and also in Device Manager. But it doesn't say much about it. Says it's working properly. Also some of the options under the drive properties is grayed out.

Does Device Manager see it, and say anything about it?

With a detail-free problem description they ain't much else to say :-(

I replaced the cdrom since I thought that was the problem. But with the replacement, it's still not working. Now I've tried everything I could think of as far as drivers, and updates, etc. Can't get it to work. I've had this problem before with Windows 2000 Pro. - same issue. I had to format the system and that fixed it. But there must be some way to fix this other than having to format. Anybody know what to do here? Thanks
