and this one too is not working. It's not even showing up
on "my computer". No disk came with the cd-rom drive, how
do i get it working??? If you can help me, i would really
appriciate it. thanks

Is D: a CD drive? Check its cabling, jumper settings, and whether it
appears in the BIOS IDE listings. If it's not detected there, chances are
very slim that XP will find it.
