My CD drive has been broken for a while. For some reason, I can now see the G drive in My Computer, before it wasn't there. The cd drive won't open, and the green light only goes on when the computer starts up. I manually opened the cd drive and put a cd in, and it didn't work.
I've opened up the computer (took off the cover part so I can see all the wires). I'm not sure what it is. Could it be a virus or something electrical?
hmm...its definately not a virus. Can teh drive be opened if your just sitting in teh bios or while the computer is loading before windows has sarted up? if not that would eliminate drive problems...Quote:

can you tell us the config of ur drives (eg. 1 hard drive, 2 cd-rom) and how many partitions then what the config of the drives are in My Computer? that would help us to understand the G:\ drive problem.
I just have a basic, three year old computer.. ;)
win 98 sec ed. 1 hd, 1 cd drive
and the drive doesn't ever open up
PUT A BULLET IN IT AND GET A NEW ONE. THEY ARE CHEAP ENOUGH NOW.Quote:
