I'm posting this again because I think the thread has gotten
off-track.  It's not about re-lettering the drive.  All was well
with the 'puter---a partitioned drive C with D and a CD-ROM as E.
This friend called and said the CD-ROM wouldn't work anymore;
nothing had been done to the computer for months.  I guess I thought
in too simple of terms in that the CD-ROM was bad....it's an old
2X.  Not much else to say; was just looking for confirmation that it
_indeed_ was bad.  Is there any way to check?  Can I answer any
questions for the list that might help confirm?

Thanks again.

...and I thought I understood CD-ROM's....

Playing with a Packard-Bell Legend 18CD with WIN95.  I double-click
on My PC, then double-click on CD-ROM which is 'E' drive to
'explore'.  I then get the following message:

        E:/ Not Accessible
        This Device is not Ready

So, I go to Device Manager and see under CD-ROM Controllers an
MKEPanasonic CD-ROM Drive and under CD-ROM also in Device Manager I
see a Matsushita CD-ROM-563.  NO EXCLAMATION MARKS.  Next step is to
turn off system and open it up.  The CD-ROM is actually plugged into
the sound card; nothing is loose, etc.etc.

I went through all of this again (slowly!), thinking I over-looked
something.  Didn't fix my problem.  Did I indeed overlook
something???
