I have compaq Evo workstation, with WIN 2K professional
installed. It has DVD and FDD.
I can watch DVD and VCD movies through softwares
installed and also the FDD works fine.
The problem is I cannot browse the DVD and FDD through
windows explorer or MS-DOS prompt.It says "Please Insert
disk in drive"
I started the RPC services it worked temporarily only for
DVD but later. Same condition.
Kindly give some advice cause do not want ot format my

Hi,
Click to expand...
Is there a disk in the drives when you attempt to read
from them? Also are you logged on as administrator? If you
have set some program other than explorer to view the
drives that could cause you this kind of problem. Though I
think that would be rather rare. If the drives are read by
programs then they must be empty when you see the
pleaseinsert disk message.
 
I had logged in as administrator and also there is disk in
CD drive.
As such I have not set any programs other than explorer to
view drives
