First question - has anyone been 'under the bonnet' and disturbed any of the
wiring within the computer? You must ensure that the PC does actually 'see' the CD-ROM. Its cables *may* have become dislodged. Either look in the BIOS to see if it is recognised there, or confirm that you can 'see' it in Real Mode DOS To 'see' it in Real Mode DOS, Boot, using your WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk in the A: drive. Select option 2. Start computer with CD-ROM support. Let the screen information scroll until you eventually see a line which should report a drive letter for the CD-ROM - but note that it may not necessarily the same letter as you would expect to see in Windows. For example, you should see the CD-ROM, becoming the E:, so the screen should show: Drive E:= Driver MSCD001 UNIT 0 Your CD-ROM Is Drive E When the boot disk finally settles down, you will be presented with an A:\ prompt. Now put a (data) CD into the CD-ROM and at the A:\ prompt, type "E:" (no quotes and note the colon after the letter E) Then Press Return. Now, at the E:\ prompt, type "DIR /P" (no quotes and note the space) Then press Return. You should see a listing of the CD contents. Come back with your results. Give EXACT errors reports - if any Mart "robert" wrote in message ... my cd drive not reading cds it said there is no cd in drive with all cds that are put in any help will be greatful . robert kilpatrick |
