I scanned the forums and found similar postings – but I am running 2k, and my drives aren’t visible at all from Explorer. When I go to Add/Remove Hardware only one shows up and that is only after I check the “show hidden hardware” box. Otherwise, neither of them show up. When it does show up, it is grayed out. I have never seen anything grayed out.
When I look into the properties, it tells me that the drivers are all there and working properly, which is odd.
I tried to use my Emergency disk set to reinstall Win2k, but it failed because it couldn’t find my CD drives.
I would really like any suggestions as I am running in circles back and forth with the drivers (which are all there) and Computer settings. Without the Cd drives, I can’t really install any to help me fix things.
i have Norton running with auto update, Adaware, SPybot (which don’t seem to do much at all) and Microsoft anti-spyware which catches at least three trojans a day. This is also why i want to clean install – to get rid of these trojans and popups.
