Wont access CD ROM or A Drive
I dont know whats going on. However, last week I was having problems with my win98, 1100MHz, 512M RAM reading my 52x24x52 CD -R/RW. Finally, I just went and bought a new Drive.
It worked well for the first couple of times. After that I I started getting VOLTRACK.VXD errors and the BSD. I thought I fixed the problem.
Now, I can't access the CD drive yet if I burn a CD it burns, if I use InCD, it works. But if I put a CD in the drive it won't read it, audio or data. The CD spins and whirrs, etc i.e. sounds like it is doing what it is supposed to be doing when I insert a CD, yet when I try to access the drive I get an error saying: a device attached to the system is not functioning. And the same thing is happening now to my A drive.
If I put in a boot flooppy (like win98 setup) it reads the A drive. When I get to where, 'load the computer for CD support' it does, and I can access the CD. I just can't access either in windows. So the problem is in windows and not the hardware.
I have uninstaled, re-installed, rerplaced, renamed, change data cables, changed master/slave, blah, blah, blah.
So I guess I am looking for an 'if all else fails' fix if anyone has one.
TIA

If the problem is in windows, please run a few online antivirus scans.

In the mean time, explain in better detail than blah, blah, blah what all you have done to this system. Without knowing that it is hard to tell you where to start.
Those who do not know, are lost...
