Please log in for more thread options I have just inheritted an old Dell Workstation 400 from where I work. I opened it up to discover a 36GB 10k SCSI Hard Disk, and a SCSI CDROM Drive. The PC will boot into the HDD running currently Win98, and report in My Computer and Device Manager that the CD Drive (NEC CD-ROM 646) is there and is functional...But when I come to use a CD, I get the "Drive D:/ is not accessible. The Device is not ready." The Drive will after a while spin up fully, then drop, and just continue to spin up partially, but whatever I do, I cannot access it. I have tried with numerous Discs too. Is it a sign that the Drive is knackered? If it is, it's a bugger, because I am also having trouble getting the onboard IDE ports to recognize a HD or ROM Drive. Anymore info needed, just say. Cheers, Neil | |||||||||||||

sound like the drive is bad. not sure why your ide devices are not detected... do you have the bios set to auto? BTW: win98 can recognize ide devices even if not given a bios call... so it may still be worth a try | |||||||||||||
