My DVD ROM

My DVD ROM is not reading any disks, I know it is not fried cause my PC recognizes my restoration CD. In the device manager there are no question marks or exclamation points. However in system properties under the performance tab it says the following; Drive E is using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system. Drive "E" is my ROM drive. Somebody please help, the following is my HJT results...

Try removing it from your Device Manager, restart and let Windows reinstall it. See what happens after that.

 

Hi,

What version of Windows are you using?

Look at your autoexce.bat or equivalent file, look for a line that has mscdec on it. Using edit, put a REM in front of it.

so it looks like

REM c:\windows\mscdec.exe /d:msc000

make a note of the bit after /d:xxxxx

Find the device driver being loaded for the device xxxxxx in the config.* and again put a REM in front of it.

REM c:\windows\drivers\oak.sys /d:msc000

Good luck
KCL

If this does not help you can always remove the rem's and put things back as before.

 

I tried that no luck.

 

I am using windows 98, and i have no idea where to find the autoexce.bat file, can you walk me through it or just give me specific instructions?

 

Just to update and ask another question, after digging and digging and digging, we discovered that the reason that my CD ROM is working is due to a corrupt registry, and I am using windows 98 and cannot retrieve a backup cause the problem is to old.

So my question is this, will an external CD ROM work so I can backup, being that the internal one won't work due to bad registry, or will the registry prevent an external CDROM from working as well? Thanks people for your time.

 

Please somebody answer post number 7 for me.
