Hi, have you ever fixed your problem with cd-rom drive
and cr-rw? I got the same problem but noticed I got it
when the blaster virus appeared. It happened on the same
day! Also, I cannot see either drive in my explore. Let
me know. I have also tried to install, but won't do
anything. I was thinking of reinstalling windows xp.
Thanks.
