Installed XP over Win98 SE. Recurrent issue with modem every time I installed an upgrade or new program in the first few days of having XP - I kept having to reinstall the modem as it would no longer be present after a system change
Stopped using PC for a few weeks. Started it back up - and I've no CD-ROM or DVD drives. Have power into DVD (ie can open drawer), but the PC won't read any disk as being present. The CD looks completely dead (ie can't open drawer)
I've uninstalled XP, but the system under 98SE still shows no CD or DVD drives. So the uninstallation has not completely reverted to my pre-XP system (hardware) profile
Any ideas as to how I can get my CD and DVD drives back up and running properly
All help appreciated - I'm not a PC geek, just an average level user who's more comfortable with software than hardware issues
Thanks for any help.
