I have seen this alot on some of the cheaper cd rom drives. I just replace them with a good quality one. You can get a good drive for around 35 to 40.00. Also you may want to add a little ram to that system. I would improve performance. :)

Subject: [PCBUILD] CD not seeing CD's
Hello,
I have a 44x CD reader in my Pentium 200, 32 Meg RAM running on Win98SE.
Recently, it started to be a unreliable in 'seeing' there was a CD Rom inside. I used one of the commercial lens cleaner CD's and all was fine for a while, but now it doesn't see anything.
According to Win98, it is working, when you put a CD in, the light flickers, it makes the whirring noise as the CD spins, but then nothing.
Is there any way to get it going? or should we just get a new one? (I look in through the door with a torch, and removed a pokemon card, but it didn't help)
Thank you
Anne Smith
