Hi
Ran in to a strange problem, when trying to access either
cd-rom drives or even floppy drive I get a message "Disk
not formatted, do you wish to format now..."
Thus the cd drives wonīt read any media.
I reinstalled win2k but it didnīt help, during
installation both cd drives worked fine?

Anyone had this problem and maybe a solution

Thanks

This a symptom of the Blaster worm IIRC.

Does this occur in safe mode?
It sounds like there may be an issue with filter drivers from cdburning
software.
