Thread: Accessing a CD drive on a W98SE pc

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by wdc
This laptop has a cd drive and when I insert a commercial audio disk into it I can play and hear it (using CD Player).. But when I insert a CD-R disk (one that works fine on my W98 desktop pc) I can’t access it. Using WORD for example I do not see the CD drive listed in the Save As dropdown list. I have tried to find it via DOS but doing a cd/ to D;, E:, F:, G:, or H: does not find it....

older drives can have a hard time reading burned CDs. Not much you can do about it.

Put a new burner in there. What I did and it worked just fine. Some examples of IDE burners. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...06818&name= IDE

Since it's a laptop you'll need a slim drive. Below in the link is one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827118 005
