CD/DVD drives not showing
Hello, I am running Windows 2000 Pro and for some reason my internal CD-RW
and DVD-R drives are not showing up with drive letters in Explore or My Computer. Hardware diagnostics have been performed to confirm that the hardware itself appears fine (and the drives do show up ok in Device Manager). I also tried connecting an external USB CD-RW drive, but the same problem occurs. Aside from a possible DMA setting causing conflicts, what other cause could there be for this problem? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Randy |
