I've seen this post many times and have not seen a single answer to it. Does
ANYONE know why win2k just randomly decides it's not going to read my cdrom
anymore, even though I can boot from it, it shows up in the device manager
etc? There's nothing wrong with it (I've tried 2 different ones). I know
this has happened to a lot of people, I just can't believe nobody has an
answer. I've looked on Google, microsoft, annoyances.org you name it. If
anyone has a clue, I'd be greatly appreciative.

ps, I've unplugged and replugged, removed devices, IDE ports you name it. Is
a windows reinstall the only answer? If Microsoft expects me to buy WinXP to
solve this (vs them solving it) they can forget it. I say that becuase this
happened to a buddy of mine the other day also and that's what he ended up
doing.
