Win ME will not recognize my CD-ROM drive
It is recognized in CMOS
It is an older Dell machine that I am trying to fix for a poor friend
the Cd Rom is a Samsung
It will run a boot disk CD
so the drive is working
I have tried removing it from the system and then reconnnecting hoping that windows would recognize new hardware
but no luck
I do know that comp usa worked on it awhile back

Any help would be really appreciated - thanks
