My Aunt gave me her computer to try and fix. It's a HP 4550Z, Win 98, Pent II.
The cd-rom does not function. There is an exclamation mark under the CD controller. It's a Mitsumi CD-Rom Controller w/ 2x Speed.
The Device Status:
This device is either not present, not working, or does not have all the drivers installed. (Code 10).

The drive door opens and closes but that all that functions.

Any ideas?

Thank you
Andrea

try checking to see if the wide ribbon cable is partway unplugged.

if that doesnt do it it might be a faulty drive.

let us know what you find out.

Dear Bob,

That was the first step that I took. Opened the case, unplugged, replugged. Same thing.
Canned aired the drive, lol and now just awaiting a response.

Thanks

Thanks Speedo,

Been there, did that. I guess that I have to buy a new CD-Rom for her.

Thanks
