Hello everybody (please no, references to Dr. Nick ). Anyway, here's the problem. I just replaced my Mitsumi 24x CD-ROM drive with a Kenwood 72x True-X CD-ROM drive. Before I did, I removed the Mitsumi drive from Windows98 through System Manager. I then removed it and simply replaced it with the Kenwood drive. I checked and rechecked ALL the cables and started up the computer.

Now my BIOS detected it as something like a Kenwood UCR-421 drive (I don't remember specifically) so it seemed the cables were all good to go. But "good ol'" Windows98 decided not to and simply ignore it totally. Everything else was fine. My other Iomega ZipCD CDR/CDRW was fine as well and simply was assigned drive letter G:, my CDROM drive's letter. There was no conflict between either drive, since my Kenwood drive wasn't even there according to Windows98.

Now what is wrong??! I messed around with the DOS/Win 3.1.x drivers, but they didn't work. So I simply removed those, and was back to square one. What is wrong?? Please help...anyone!

Thanks for the help...anyone who does, gets my full gratitude.
