computer not recognising drives
I have a friend whose computer has suddenly stopped recognising her CD drives. It's a Celeron 600 desktop running W98 SE. It has a CDROM and a CD-RW drive, but suddenly neither My Computer nor device manager betrays a hint of seeing they exist. On the law of averages a simultaneous double failure seems unlikely, as does the possibiity of cables, leads etc falling out simultaneously. Is there something obvious I should check before I go poking around inside?
