Hi:

Why not try booking up with a DOS based disk in the floppy drive and see if
you can access the cdrom before you try physically changing anything.
You'll need a boot floppy with mscdex and an ide device driver on it and
the proper commands in the config.sys and autoexec files.

If the drive works then you know you have an OS driver issue or conflict in
the OS and not a hard ware problem.


Thanks,

Joe
