Sooo, before my hard drive crash (http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4319), my computer looked like this:

C: Hard drive with Windows and programs
D: Hard drive with comics and cartoons
E: Hard drive with mp3s
F: CD-drive
G: CD-burner



So D: died on me, and I removed it. However, now it looks like this:

C: Hard drive with Windows and programs
D: Hard drive with mp3s

Does anyone know what I should do to be able to use the CD drives again?

They should just be labelled E and F. The data would have been stored on C, so i don't see how it woud affect the cd drives. Other than that when you boot into windows it should say new hardware found if the are not installed.

Maybe you accidentally knocked then while taking out D and they are no longer connected properly.

Try clicking start>run>F: and see what happens

Hope you get it sorted.

Any computer wizards here?Have no fear! Merlin is here! With a touch of my magic wand, your computer will be fixed!

Nah, seriously...sorry.

BTW, 3 hard drives? That's overkill, even for a computer geek like myself...

I don't really like Hard Drives. They can be a real pain. I miss the Apple IIe days when everything was on disks. So much less headache!

[quote]BTW, 3 hard drives? That's overkill, even for a computer geek like myself... :lol: But they're not that big... :P

I think the problem may be in that last summer, when I reinstalled windows, the CD-burner didn't work corrctly, so I had to download something (and I can't really remember what!) that affected the CDs... I'm going to try to put back the bad HD and see if everything works...

And I'm buying a completly new computer as soon as I have money!

You can never have to many hard drives.Yeah, if you're some spoiled-rotten, power-hungry, elitist, prepubescent computer nerd with no sense on what to better spend your money with, that is :roll:

Eh, nothing personal, Sparvid :(

BTW, what's your definition of "not that big"?

Assuming you are using windows, have you tried doing a bootdisk then starting your pc with cd-rom compatibility?If you know how to use DOS that might work...

liltimmy: That's not the first time I've done that, that's a really fancy way for me to say, "DUUUUUUUDE! I'm the same way!" Of course, I just said <---that, then what fun would the post be?

Just trying to be creative, that's all...
