Windows 98 / CD Rom Driver

Try this first. In Device manager highlight CD-ROM and click properties. Switch to Settings tab and check drive letter assignment. Another way is to delete CD-ROM in Device manager, restart computer and let Windows to found your CD-ROM
Goog luck

Assuming its not a hardware problem (and I'm not convinced you don't just have a bad CD-ROM drive) -- remove the CD from the Device Manager list and restart the machine. It will reidentify and reinstall the drivers.

When you tried deleting it from device manager did windows detect it on boot up? And did you check the properties of the drive in device manager? Does it show up in explorer?
Ya need to give some more info?

if all of the tips do not work look for an universal driver at http://www.driverguide.com
this universal driver is hard to find. you will have to use the search machine. keep in mind you will get a password via email to enter the site.( if you do not want to wait enter the word drivers - in the first line and the word all - in the second line) drivers all are the two "passwords" maybe it works this quick way. if you are not sucessful, send me a mail to europanorama@yahoo.com and i will send you the universal win 9x-cd-rom-driver. michael przewrocki-switzerland. if you send me sms to my cellular-handy i could react quicker. simply write universal cdrom-driver and send me mail. byby michael

(1)turn on computer. press F8 on your keyboard before you enter windows. (this will take you to a startup menu).
(2)choose option 3 (safe mode). and enter windows win safe mode.
(3)in safe mode, go to my computer--control panel--device manager, and delete the hardrive controller and any cdroms.
(4)restart computer, and enter windows in normal mode. windows will detect the hardrive controller you uninstalled+the cdrom drive

I had this problem just a day ago, and just fixed it. hope this helps. try this. a reminder. don't go fiddling with bios. I tried, and made my computer crash. try this way. if it doesn't work, I'll try to help you in another way.

What type of interface you are using is it IDE or SCSI, thought IDE and you have to think is it ATAPI compatible is it working on primary or secondary IDE interface?
Is it propritary interface, than you have to collect the device driver else you donot need any device driver for that, by the way is the drive fits on your sound card or other interface card?
Please let me know.
