DVD and CD drives won't work no matter what I do Monday, December 10, 2007 at 11:16 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Brian McDaniel (9 messages posted) I was able to open and run CD's just fine until recently. Now all of a sudden I can't open any CD's. Whenever I try to open a CD in My Computer I just get "Please insert a disk into drive D:". I tried reinstalling the drive. I tried switching the DVD drive with a CD drive that I know works, but I get the same thing. I tried switching the IDE cable with the hard drive. Using the IDE cable and secondary IDE channel that the optical drives were on, the hard drive loads Windows just fine. So I know the problem is not the cable or the IDE channel. I even tried updating the BIOS and still no dice. The CMOS has no trouble finding the drives using Auto. It even finds the model number of the drive. I tried to boot from a bootable CD (my Windows XP CD) and it won't boot. This suggests to me that the problem is deeper than Windows. I'm using Windows 2000 Pro and my motherboard is an MSI-6534 using a Pentium 4 (Williamette). Any ideas??? Is my motherboard broken? I don't know what else to do.
