re: Win2000 not recognizing CD ROM Thursday, February 14, 2002 at 9:54 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sabby (27 messages posted) Well, if you are sure its connected properly... It could be that the IDE controller driver is not installed or maybe it can't find an irq address for itself. If you get a registry error, there is something wrong with windows somewhere and loading windows on top of your current windows still may not help. If you have like a recovery disk from Dell, try to use that, it should have a generic cdrom driver with it so it should work... wipe everything off the drive and start over (if you are comfortable with that and have all nessicary drivers/programs) I'm thinking that for some reason its not picking up the IDE controller driver... go look in the device manager... right click on my computer and go to properties, then device manager, and make sure there are no devices with a yellow exclamation mark beside it or a red x.... did you do anything recently? like an upgrade or somethin? =) -Sean On Thursday, February 14, 2002 at 12:06 pm, Dea Ann wrote: >I have a Dell Latitude CPxj that does not recognize the CD ROM in Win2000.
