Missing Drives

[Ray]

When I go to mycomputer I no longer have the drive for my
cd-rom or my dvd drive - how do I get them back. I also
had a drive for my digital camera reader and that is gone
to. Please help. I am using win 98....

1. Do you have Tweak UI installed? If so, go to My Computer tab and put
marks in all drives.

2. Check for a lastdrive statement in the config.sys file and if it exists,
make sure it reads: lastdrive=z

3. Run regedit.exe and open it to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup

In the right pane, look for a last drive statement and if it is present,
make sure it reads "Z"

4. Control panel, system, performance tab: is there any comment about
MSDos compatibility mode?

I do not have Tweak UI I check config.sys = lastdrive=z
and I check the regedit file and it says lastdrive=z. What
should I do now? Thanks for your help - If I can't get
this working my computer is pretty useless...
