Imaginary CD ROM Drives

by bleustig . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

A couple of days ago a client’s Compaq Deskpro 200’s CD stopped being accessible. It seems that at that point, new CD ROM drives were being created on the system (visible through My Computer). There are about six drives none are accessible and their drive letters have precedence over the network drive mappings resulting in the inability to use certain network drives. I have tried to change the drive letters in Disk Manager but the drives are locked as if files are open.
Does anyone have anyideas as to how this happened and more importantly, how to rectify it?
Thanks
