Anyone here knows what is up with my cdrom drive? i kepp on getting the 'unsafe removal of device' warning for my BTC cdrom. Warns me about removing the device while the system is still running, but the fact is i didn't..any help on this.??

Probably a dumb question, but did you open the box and check to be sure the cables are all connected securely?

Of course it's connected, what i meant was my cdrom is working normally after win2k is loaded..just after a few minutes the warning message pops up about me plugging out the device. I'm sure it's connected since i could use it in the first place..only after a while the message comes out and then my cdrom becomes useless. It's as though i plug out the cables while my system is still running except i didn't plug it out.

please help

Sounds like a dodgy cable to me, I had a similar problem and found this to be the cause.

 

Remember to check both the power and the IDE cable - replace the Ide cable if possible.

 

It could also be a loose solder connection on either the cd rom or the motherboard - so if after cable checks the problem persists, chech the contacts. Also try swapping the CD drive for a spare if you've got one, this would diagnose whether or not it's the drive at fault.

 

hope this helps a bit
