CD drive no longer recognized by W98SE

[DZip]

I tried to run a CD and I get the message "There is no CD-ROM player attached to computer". It was there last time I played a music CD (last week). Anyone have any ideas? I have already put in a new CD drive and windows did not detect it as PNP. I tried to add it with add new hardware, and no luck. Can't find a device to install. Could the IDE controller just stop working?

Sounds like a case of the "noide" registry key. Check out this webpage, and follow the instructions. See if it applies (as you look in the registry for the key it mentions):
