DVD-RAM drive is not connected...

[ricdik]

When I run my DVDforum or WPtool it gives me the "DVD-RAM drive is not
connected". I looked in my bios & the CD/DVD rom drive is recognized
there, but not in any of my windows systems, i.e. device manager. I've
changed the bios so the CD/DVD rom would boot before the hard drive,
but in doing so it doesn't recognize the Toshiba recovery disk I have
inserted. I can still open/close the CD/DVD drive & hear it spinning,
the light comes on but it does nothing. I've gone to Toshiba's site to
download the drivers for the DVD & installed them, but I don't think
they installed correctly b/c now I have 2 new folders on my C drive
called "Acoustic Silencer.temp"DVD RAM.temp". Lastly, I've called
Toshiba tech support since their online support web pg doesn't work.
They tell me what I thought that it could be a malfunction of the DVD
drive but I want to be sure I exhaust all possiblities before I
purchase a new one.

Right now I'm not convinced that the drivers are installed correctly &
I feel there are more things I can do.

How can I make my D:\ accessible? I am trying to install the new Norton
Antivirus and it says D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be
performed because of an I/O device error..

What do I need to do to fix this?

I have had a similar occurrence recently and found an article about eronious
entries in the registry. This is a word doc at the following URL

www.emark.co.za/downloads/Information%20for%20resolving%20the%20issue%20with%20the%20CD.doc

It worked for me - Good luck

Return the software to Symantec and ask for a refund. Be thankful it
wouldn't install. Instead of using Symantec "junkware" go to.....

and download the free AVG antivirus software. Easier to setup and
use, consumes less resources, and you don't have to put up with
Symantec's defective activation process.
