Code 22 and DVD-ROM Drive forced disabled

J

Jason

I came home this evening to a DVD-ROM drive that did not
show up in the My Computer Screen...I checked it out and
found that it has been disabled by Windows for some error
(Code 22). Not sure how this happened...was working fine
last night...I have also installed a new HP PSC 2175 All
in One Printer/Copier/Scanner with media stick slots
(this was after the DVD Drive problem showed up). It
appears that the media stick slots get their own drive
letter.

My Computer setup:
Pentium 733Mhz
Maxtor 40Gb HD (C: Drive)
Western Digital 160Gb HD (D: Drive)
Printer Media Stick Slots (E: Drive...the E: Drive used
to be the DVD Drive)
CD Burner (F: Drive)
Geforce 2 Ultra
Ethernet Card
SB Live! Sound Card
USB 2.0 PCI Card

Nothing on the computer was changed when this happened.
If anyone could help as to what this code is (Code 22),
why Windows is disabling this drive, and what I could do
to remedy this situation, I would greatly appreciate it.

My guess is that some IRQ error popped up (don't know
how) and windows has to disable one of the trouble
items...how can i check what drives are using which
resources?
