Bennybone 0 Posted August 24, 2000 greeting all! This is my first post on this forum and I am a new Windows 2000 professional user. Ok here is the problem: I installed Windows 2k on a freshly formatted HD and everything loaded flawlessly. Then on the final reboot Windows loads BUT my primary Cd-Rom drive has disappeared... The one that the OS installed off of! I cannot read any discs on the Cd-Rom and I have to turn the computer on and off a few times before it will detect it. Sometimes on a cold boot it is there and sometimes it isnt... I cant figure it out and so I hope that one or all of you can shine some light on the problem for me. Here is my system setup: Intel 600 EB 256 megs of crucial technologies RAM Cas 2 Asus P3v4x Mobo Creative 32 x CD rom (yes this is the disappearing one) HP 7200i Cd-burner Leadtek GF2 card Sb Live value card Compaq 56k external modem Windows 2k professional Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post
