Well, you could try getting the CD drive's drivers by going to the manufacturer's web site and installing them, and you could download Windows XP SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx download SP2 install it, restart and then go to http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/downloadinstall.mspx so if there are any new updates that you need, they are brought to you automatically.\n\n\n\nHope this helps!\n-crad010

Look down the list and often by looking at the file name or the folder it is in you can guess what it controls.  If not, try turning it off, reboot and see what happens.  \n\nThe worst that could happen is your computer might hang up before it gets all the ay into Windows.  Then you would need to reboot in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the initial boot up and when the menu appears select Safe Mode).  \n\nIn Safe Mode none ot the startup stuff it loaded.  Go into msconfig and turn whatever it was back on.\n\nLittle bit of trial and error and you should be able to detect what you do and don't want to run.

ok first did you remove all trojans ad viruses from the pc ? reinstall the drivers that came with the unit, if it is a hp or dell they have a pc help and tool folder in all programs , it has a restore drivers option. if that doesn't work you may need to reformat the drive reinstalling all. it is doubtfull the usb port itself is bad just cannot be seen or used right now. get norton system works and update regulary to prevent this in future. mine caught it yesterday and stopped it dead. you can try to go to manage hardware and delete the usb drive completely then reboot. it may see it and reinstall it. If you are running Windows Me or Windows XP, we recommend that you temporarily turn off System Restore. Windows Me/XP uses this feature, which is enabled by default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged. If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer.\n\nWindows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has the potential of restoring an infected file on your computer, even after you have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations.\n\nAlso, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even though you have removed the threat.\n\nFor instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation, or one of the following articles: \nHow to disable or enable Windows Me System Restore \nHow to turn off or turn on Windows XP System Restore\n\nNote: When you are completely finished with the removal procedure and are satisfied that the threat has been removed, reenable System Restore by following the instructions in the aforementioned documents.\n\nFor additional information, and an alternative to disabling Windows Me System Restore, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Antivirus Tools Cannot Clean Infected Files in the _Restore Folder (Article ID: Q263455).

Deframent your computer\nChange boot up delay... In XP is in the control panel under system, advanced Start up and Recovery.\n\nRun a spwyare checker like spydoctor or Spybot Search and Destroy.

Try to boot into Safe Mode (hit F8 before Windows XP boots normally), then the virus probably isn't awoken, and disable the startup entry by using msconfig. You can also perform a virus scan because you have better chance your anti virus program will find it.\n\nEDIT: coincidently rj c says the same ;-)

Another suggestion -- I would perform this prior to taking the cover off the computer:\n\nRight Click on My Computer\nGo to Properties\nIf you have WinXP, click on the Hardware Tab, then click on Device Manager.\nIf you have Win2000 I believe it is the same process.\nLook for you CD-ROM in the list.  \nClick on the Plus sign\nIf it has a yellow exclamation or question mark beside it, there is the possibility the CD is gone.\nRight click on the CD-ROM and select uninstall.\nReboot your system and upon boot up look for a message that will indicate whether or not NEW Hardware has been installed. (you may or may not recv this msg)\n\nIf your computer is still under warranty, I'd suggest calling them and they will take you through some trouble shooting and then if the device still doesn't recognize a CD, they will either send you a replacement or have you take it someplace for service.\n\nIf your computer is out of warranty, check to see if your system would support a DVD-CD/RW device.  If it does, I'd replace the old with one of these.  There are numerous technical websites out there.  \n\nHowever, if you are not technically inclined, you may want to consider purchasing an external device where you just use a USB port to connect the device to your computer.

Go to ur BIOS and do it setting to automatic. Most probably it the BIOS's Setting that dosent show a CD - ROM

Usually this happens due to a hard disk failure, in the system area. Use the XP installation CDROM to start your PC. When prompted, type R to enter the recovery console. Once there, use the CHKDSK command (U will have to type it at the MS-DOS like prompt which appears) and hit enter.\nUsually this solves the problem.

So you are saying that E is your CD-rom and F is showing the contents of the CD rom again? CD rom is supposed to be read only.\n\n============================================================\nDid you install from Windows XP distribution CD or the recovery CD provided by the hardware manufacturer. Recovery CDs sometimes create an image of the drive and makes it read only.

Use 'Virtual CD'.. This helps u with that ;-)\n\n And also a few software (like games), need the original cd inside for them to run. This also helps in faking that and makes the S/W work without the C.D/D.V.D

You may have damaged your computer by shutting it down improperly.  You must always use the Start &#92; Turn Off Computer, etc. routine to shut it down.  If you still have the original Windows CDs, you could try repairing the system but I'm not a technician.\n\nGood luck!
