>   Hello,
>           I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm having a problem on my internet p.c. where my p.c. won't recognize my c.d. rom anymore. I had a dual boot system and for some reason over the past week things have been getting weird on my sysytem and all of a sudden I can't open windows explorer and look at the contents of a c.d. I looked in the device manager and it says the device is working fine. The weird thing was I have an external cdrw drive hooked up and it won't recognize that either. I tried uninstalling software and nothing seems to help . I tried formating one of the partitions and starting over but even then the cd rom won't be recognized. I use the startup floppy, load the drivers for the cd rom and when it's time to type setup it can't find the c.d.

Check your system for the "Klez" virus. Symantec has a separate program you can download to get rid of it - doesn't always work.
