I have 2 drives: E and D. My D drive (DVD) is working, but my E drive (CD) is not. When I go into my computer and click on E, it says "e:\ is not accessible." At the same time if I open D it works fine. But if I right click on E and select properties, recording, and check the box that says allow drive to record, then my E drive magically works again, but now my D drive says "d:\ is not accessible." I then do the same thing to the D drive, then it works but E drive doesn't. Is there anyway to fix this because the drives used to work just fine. Thanks.
I am running windows xp, but haven't done a system restore. Do I need to, or is there any other way to fix this. If I do a system restore, will I lose everything I have saved on the C drive? Thanks.
Right click My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager>Click the + beside DVD\CD-Rom and locate your E drive (right click>uninstall). Reboot your pc and WinXP will detect drive E and see if you encounter the same problem m8.

no m8 you wont lose everything on your c:..system restore can take you back to any of a number of points in time since you got the pc..just pick the nearest 1 to today and try that

the way to do this is to whip both drives out the puter! then you will see or should see a little like plastic square clip that is on metal terminals at the back of each drive! hopefully you should see some sort of diagram saying something like this master/slave/cs cable select!
set your mian drive to master! and the next to slave!
