Re-Applied service patch 6a

Each time I re-boot the drive letter is droped for the CDROM. I have to launch Disk Admin and assign it each reboot.

Is there a way to do this in command prompt and or does anyone have the solution for this one..

Have you try a different cd-rom drive? An almost bad cd-rom might behave like that.
Good luck.

Guess I should have mentioned that.

I origanally had an IDE CDROM. Upgraded to SCSII. Enabled the SCSI CDROM. Recieved the error---Then replaced the cable and SCSI ID.

I suggest to check whether the services attached to your CD-ROM are configured to start automatically. If not - set them to.

Have no other idea yet. (Maybe should install addditinal drivers for your SCSI CD-ROM?)

All Services Enabled.
GUZ, The anwer is going to be what was loaded IDE wise that is conflicting with the SCSI startup and enable process.

SCSI Bios sees the drive - Disk Admin sees it. Just is not auto-assigning a drive letter.
