Riddle of a Dead CD drive but some times working!
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2002 2:22 am
I have these 2 CD-ROM drives that started acting up a "Drive D: NOT Accessible" routine in windows 98 & ME.
The first is Creative iNFRA 48x , PNP (no driver is needed)
The second is Cyber Drive 24x , DOS device driver
both are internal, RECOGNIZED IN NAME/MODEL# BY THE BIOS, and hardly used.
but not accessible from windows. I've tried them on several machines.
The first DOES BOOT FROM CD if the CD is a boot device!!!
Now the CyberDrive doesn't even EJECT the tray ... (button or command --same result)
what is wrong with the picture here. I am sure no drivers are missing/needed.
Or is this a problem with windows.
