I appreciate all you advice..I finally gave up and formatted the drive and re-installed windows 2000. All is well after the format and re-install. It was just one of those nightmare things. Thanks again.

Okay..Nothing has changed for many months on the hardware side...Here is what I have...I dual-boot Win98 and Win2000 and have for months..My configuration is and has been Ultra 66 controller that controls both hard drives and both slave cd rom drives..That has worked well and worked fast for many months..I was burning a rom an my cd rom burner and when I finished burning it my cd rom burner and my regular cd rom was gone in "My Computer"..They are still in "Device Manager" but have the exclamation marks with yellow circles around the exclamation marks.. Nothing has changed. The computer hasn't even been opened in 6 months..Strangest darn things happen..I even tried re-installing windows 2000 last night over the top of existing to see if that would change it..No change...I am out of answers except to format the drive and start from scratch..I hate to because I lose all my months of setting everything up. I even d/led Ultra 66 newest drivers and bios and put those on last night just for the heck of it and still nothing ..Maybe the ZDTV man could help.haha. Thanks. appreciate any more input..

I can't believe that someone reading this doesn't know why my cd rom drives are not in "my computer" all at one and are in the device manager with a yellow exclamation mark beside both of them.

I forgot to mention..I tried deleting the cd rom drives from device manager and rebooted and it found both of them again and installed them but put the same exclamation marks with circles on each again.

All at once under Windows 2000 I open "My computer" and no cd roms..So I look at "Device Manager" and they are both there but they have an "exclamation mark" with a yellow circle around them on both cd rom drives. Please advise if you can..All has worked well for months but all at once no cd rom drives. Thanks much.

Finally drivers are released for Windows 2000 . They work perfectly with Control and Monitor too at http://support.soundblaster.com/files/download.asp?OS=Win2k&prod=webcam3
