After I remove WinOnCD on a Win2k Pro PC with SP1 I can't get my CD devices (1 cdrom, 1 writer hp 8100).
There is a "!" in my device manager in Win2k.
In the explorer the mappings for this devices were not displayed.
How I can solve this problem ?

When uninstalling winoncd it removed the drivers (strange ?,)
You have to install the drivers again for the cdrom and writer.
Use the cd's that came with the cdrom and writer to install the drivers again.

My understanding of the WinOnCD original drivers (ie the drivers on the CD) are not fully compatible with Win2K. I would recommend going to the WinOnCD website and downloading the uptodate drives. If you install these I would imagine this would overcomethe problem your having with your CD drive as this is probably caused by some orphaned entry in the registry still refering to the winonCD device
