I will try and explain this problem as best I can. I have a new dual core
Intel computer with 2 GB of memory. I have two hard drives (350 GB). They
have been partitioned. One of the partitions on my secondary drive, one of
my CD-ROM drives and my floppy drive do not appear in "my computer" and
therefore I cannot "work on them".
However, when I look in computer management, they are all present.

Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?
 
I am Presuming you transfered your old hard drive from your old computer into
your new fandangled 2Gb machine.... because Microsoft has made sure that this
is not a normally viable option by Locking out your CDROM drive. -why they
did this is to make sure that people don't blantly copy over existing data
just because they found a spare hard drive on the street, and to make sure
that users don't mix and match differing licensed copies of windows.

Don't dispear though - it's fixable, do a search for CDROM locked out of CD
Dive not working ,,etc you should find a registry fix --that should also help
with getting the other partitions to work.

Have you tried assigning a drive letter to them in Disk Management? If it's
a new computer have you talked to the vendor's tech support?

Your explanation absolutely makes no sense. Where did you get this from?
