I have a K6200 processor running WIN95 and a fairly normal set-up.&nbsp;&nbsp;4GHDD, CD-ROM (both IDE).&nbsp;&nbsp;The system has the HDD as &quot;C&quot; and the CD-ROM as &quot;D&quot;.<br><br>I recently installed a SCSI card and HDD.&nbsp;&nbsp;All worked as advertised with the new SCSI HDD being &quot;D&quot; and the CD-ROM now being moved to &quot;E&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is that win explorer and My Computer cannot see the CD-ROM no matter waht I do.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I go to DOS and tyoe E:\ I can access the CD-ROM.<br><br>If I remove the SCSI HDD the CD-ROM goes back to being &quot;D&quot; and all works OK.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I now use device manager to re-assign the CD-ROM to, say, &quot;R&quot; and reboot, the device manager says the CD-ROM is now &quot;R&quot; but explorer and my computer can't see it.<br><br>Can anyone help<br><br>Mike
 
mtec -<br><br>Does the CD-ROM still show in Device Manager with no issues?&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, select the CD-ROM and remove it.&nbsp;&nbsp;You shouldn't have to restart.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hit &quot;Refresh&quot; a couple times.&nbsp;&nbsp;Win95 should re-discover it.&nbsp;&nbsp;If so, it will re-allocate resources to the CD-ROM.&nbsp;&nbsp;You may want to grab your CD-ROM driver disk just in case Win95 needs it for a re-install.<br><br>Hope this helps ~<br>&nbsp;
