1199866 2011-05-10 16:16:00 So look into getting the CD drive working. Can you boot off the CD drive using a bootable CD/DVD? Snorkbox (15764)
1199867 2011-05-10 17:08:00 wouldn't know if I even have a bootable CD around here.......but considering it isn't reading any data and can't been be written tom I doubt it would work

At least I got the Drive to be recognized...before I couldn't even get it to show in WIndows File Mgr or even the BIOS. It at least it does that now, just can't read/write with it

So I would suggest you apply the fix I already posted.

It's not reading/writing data at the moment probably because to read and write you have WinXP loaded and the upper/lower filters need fixing. The original WinXP CD you intalled from should be bootable if you still have one.
