I have a question about finding, restoring or replacing the E: drive (CD ROM Drive)
on my system. I downloaded some "free" drivers for my Sound Blaster system and along
with those came a package that contained JUNK that "glommed" (technical term) onto
my DOS 6 and corrupted the main E: drive. I say corrupted, but this virus type of
entity seems to have "kidnapped" it! All I have left of it is an ID # and a serial
#. The content of the file (drive info, icon,letter and the former physical position
on the "tree" is gone. I accessed MS DOS to try retrieving it's memory and restore
the application. All that DOS "coughed up" was a corelation to the serial # and
"file not found". I am desparate to get up and going again. My livelihood depends
on it! Please, will the first knowledgeable person to read this message contact
me and help me out of this "jam" (I know, technical, technical,technical...) I
remain, "Desparate and in Limbo, M J. Shenk (ShenkMJSE@aol.com)target="_blankhref="http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article07-022">Prevent

Right click my computer, click properties, click device manager, click the plus by
CDROM, click the entry once to highlight it and click remove, click ok, and reboot
the machine and let windows find aand reinstall it.
