I have several Gateway 2000 laptops with modular CDROM and floppy drives. I cannot get the laptop to install and recognize the CDROM. It appears in My Computer and in Explorer, however I get the messsae, device not ready when I try to use the drive. It appears to be working correctly in the Devices list. The CDROM is Matsu****a 6x. It worked well with Windows 3.1, seemed to work with Win 95, stopped working with Win 98. I ran fdisk and went back to FAT 16 and reloaded Win 95. No luck.

Do you have more than one of these CD Roms? If so try swapping it out. I've seen quite a few of them fail without warning for absolutly no reason what so ever.
