Lost my floppy and CD drives

by gcaesar . Updated 23 years, 6 months ago

I have NT (4.00.1381) installed on two servers on the same LAN. This problem has arisen on both at the same time, but not on 2000 (client) machines on the same network.

When using Explorer to access my Floppy drive (or my CD drive) I get the message “A:\ Is not accessible. The device is not ready.” (different drive name for CD, obviously). Also, pressing the “eject” button on the CD drive does absolutely nothing.

I have followed the Microsoft Knowledge Base instructions (169620) ie. changing the 0000 key under Legacy_cdfs, but still have the same problem.

The fact that this has occured on two seperate machines at the same time leads me to believe that the problem may have been caused by a virus, however a full scan with Nortons did not find anything.

Any ideas would be appreciated (please email to

Regards,
Graeme
