Hello again, I'm still having problems with my CDRW. I've reinstalled W98se. When I try to put the external CDRW (via USB) no additional drive letter appears in "My Computer". Can someone suggest a way to troubleshoot this problem? Is there a setting in the USB I need to be aware of? The CDRW itself seems fine as the activity light goes on at startup. Any help is greatly appreciated.
