CD auto insert notification

Try to get the ATAPI driver. it will work for u.

Check your jumper settings on the drive, usually the Win 98 ATAPI driver works just fine for everything except some CD-recordable drives but if you IDE jumpers aren't right nothing will work. Also if there is a hard drive on the same cable check itsjumpers, especially if it is a Western Digital. Their jumpers are different for "single master" than for "master with slave". The yellow mark in Device manager sounds like a hardware problem if the ATAPI driver is loaded. Does your BIOS find the drive OK? Can you read a CD-ROM in it at all?

If that drive is on the PRIMARY IDE channel, make sure its set to SLAVE.

If on the SECONDARY IDE channel, make sure its set to master (assuming that'll be the only drive on that channel)

Good luck.

I have tried checking both the master slave jumper settings and the cable. I have this on a seperate IDE cable and set for master. I can read the CD in Windows, but it will not pick up a disk auto.

Remove the CD ROM from the PC, then boot the PC, go into device manager and remove the CD ROM in there, then boot the PC. Then run the installation program for the CD ROM, then power off the PC install the new CD ROM and boot. I have seen where whentrying to install new hardware, you actually have to install the software before actually installing the new hardware

Remove any cdrom devices that have the exclamation point, restart windows and allow it to re-install properly, using device drivers provided by creative.

next, open device manager, expand the basic cdrom drive, and choose your creative cd, rt click on this and choose properties, select the settings tab, and make sure you have a check mark in "autoinsert notification"

Good luck
