| 423043 | 2006-01-22 23:39:00 | I uninstalled the program and restarted. Now I don't get the same message but it won't read the CD. Says insert a CD and there's one already in there.... | Caryl (9664) | ||
| 423044 | 2006-01-23 00:23:00 | Try another CD, preferably a commercial one. Go into Device Manager and check under CD/DVD Drives that it is showing there and there are no exclamation marks or anything indicating it has a problem. If there is, remove the device form here then reboot your PC. Failing all else the drive may have died. |

| 423045 | 2006-01-23 03:44:00 | D:\is not accessible illegal function How do I repair my D drive when I cannot uninstall or reinstall it from my original Windows CD's!! Hang on - nowhere does it say that this 'D' drive is actually a CD drive. Why couldn't it be another HDD/Partition? Cannot use original Win CDs doesn't mean the CD drive's busted - could just mean the CDs are lost. Bletch |

| 423046 | 2006-01-23 21:17:00 | I tried another CD and it worked so then returned to the original one (to install my IPod) and it worked. Now why was the CD Creator causing a conflict? Thank you so much. I had feared the drive had passed away!! Try another CD, preferably a commercial one. Go into Device Manager and check under CD/DVD Drives that it is showing there and there are no exclamation marks or anything indicating it has a problem. If there is, remove the device form here then reboot your PC. Failing all else the drive may have died. |
