Hi folks!
I am putting together and PC using pieces found anywhere, just 4 fun. The CD-Rom is a Creative 32x and it's giving me some trouble.
What happened was that after installing Win98, the CD-Rom icon is right there in My COmputer as it shuould: no conflict, no wired messages. As soon as I tried to install Office, the Cd-Rom didn't recognize the CD: Drive not Ready. This is what I get when trying to click on the icon in MyComputer. Same thing from DOS prompt.
The BIOS sees it just finr when booting...
I've already moved it on a different chain; set it from slave to master to slave again. Same thing.
Any suggestion?

I don't know it this might help, but the string that I read in Device Manager is:
Creative CD3231E UC100
On the creative web site, there is no drive for such device, the closest I can get is CD3230 and it is 5 mb!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">
