W2k doesnt recognize CDRoms

[ikaika1]

Help! I recently reinstalled w2k and at a certain point during installation, the CD rom becomes unavailable and if I continue with installation, the drive is never found. So, im sitting here with a fine w2k install but no CD roms... Tell me if ive done something stupid. Can I install the IDE CDroms manually? I figured everything under W2k was plug and play, especially in that department, i dont even see a CD rom secion under the hardware wizard. Im stuck... Please help

I'm also having problems with Win2k trying to detect my cdburner. In a previous post somewhere someone gave me this link

Click here for ASPI info

But i'm having problems with the aspichk.exe file. When I try to run it, windows says that it has generated errors and has logged it and closes out.

RadioCore:

If Windows 2000 will see your burner but the burning software won't then put this file where the programs .exe file is:
Aspi File

No, thats not the problem for me, the problem is that there is NO CD DRIVE on the computer. It tells me that it cant find a file in the folder i386 on the windows 2000 setup CD rom. It gives you the option of telling setup where the file is, and when i click on my computer there is NO CD ROM. I am VERY distraught. Ive asked every tech guru i know and the only answer i get is "What is THAT? WTF is THAT?!" Im slowly going insane. I recently tried it with a new DVD rom, but i got the same results. Im desperate.
