I have a compaq 5150. I was upgrading and removed the cd-r out of it, along w/ some memory. I went to format the hard drive and reinstall windows to sell it. But now the cd doesn't read, won't boot.

I have moved the cable around, the jumper is on cable select, booted up using a floppy to bypass windows.

It shows my cd on windows explorer and i can eject the cd from it. I have tried a different cd rom and still the same results, changed memory, everything but drop kick it.. LOL

ANY help would be appreciated.. Really would like to fix it, just because i want to know what caused it..

Thanks <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
