36905 2002-02-24 13:13:00 I have a MITSUMI 32 speed CD-ROM and just out of the blue it has decided to stop working. Ever time I go to access it I get an error message saying that the device is not ready. I have re-intalled all of its drivers, changed the IDE cable, tried it in a completly different computer and have had no luck.
cheers

They die.

Although I'm a bit sceptical on this process (we're all sceptics untill we try it), it makes for a good read, and if your drive is stuffed, it's worth a try.

Good luck.
