I reinstalled win98se and after this I am unable to use the cd-rom cos A msg is shown:

Open
Accessto D: is denied
Device is not ready

retry cancel

What is happening to, is the driver missing and how can i know the status
of it to be able to use it.

Yes it did, we can rule out one reason for it not working altogether.

Look in device manager (start, settings, control panel, system). Is the cd rom listed near the top of the list? If so, does it have a ! next to it? If it does, go into the properties of the cdrom and post the make and model of the cd and the error code that is shown.

Is your computer branded (eg hp, compaq, time, emachine etc)? If so, what make and model is it?

If not go here and download and install everest (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html) it will tell you about your motherboard - post the make and model of the motherboard.

err, but I didn't suggest anything, I was looking for more information from you... it appears it just decided to start working for you then!
