Control Pannel -> System -> Device Manager, check to see if it exist, but might have a red X, or a yellow Exclamation mark, if so right click, then click properties , read the reason for the error, if its just disabled, you should be able to click "Enable Device" then restart, also physically, check to make sure the connection in the back of the Cdrom is pressed in securily (sure you've done this). Also when you start the computer make sure the BIOS detects the CDrom, go into the BIOS in gernal setting, if the Cdrom is located on Secondary IDE port, turn that to Auto, if you are not sure, turn all 4 sections to Auto (leave any existing found harddrive settings alone). That way it wont be forcefully turned off.<br> <br>Further Questions, dont hesitate to ask. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
