A friend of mine is having the following problem with his PC.

He was installing a game on his system.Half way through he exited the installation due to some work.At that instant a error message flashed(which he does not remember).He ignored it and shutdown his system.When next time he put his PC on he found out that his CD DRIVE tab in MY COMPUTER was not been shown.He could not access his cd drive anymore.Also due to some reason many of his games are not working. What must be the problem for such behaviour?????
Please post if anymore info is required.

Coming back to life ..
Is the drive being listed during the POST ..? ie is it being detected when the computer boots up ..?

May be CD Drive is hidden. Try downloading this for Win XP *download.microsoft.com/download/f/...6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe]and then install it, and then go to My Computer tab---> Drives and see if his Cd Rom is unchecked, if so check it and save and exit. Also wait for the other replies

As it_waaznt_me said, check the during post if your cd-rom drive is listed or not. U can also check this in the BIOS/CMOS if at all the CD-ROM drive is detected by the BIOS/CMOS, if not . It is probably due to loose E-IDE cable that connects your drive to the mobo. Check this out (U will need to open the case of your computer for this, be careful if u are new at it. )

Completely remove the cable and replace is firmly again and then start your computer and see the BIOS/CMOS if its detected you are done, next start Windows and see if appears there.

If the BIOS/CMOS shows the CD-Rom drive but windows doesn't install TweakUI and untick the hidden CD-Rom drive.

this should help.

HEY DEVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the above thing does not work.
then i would suggest that there is something seriously wrong with the PC
Run an antivirus for the BOOT files.
if this isn't working toothen
Try installing the WINDOWS XP OS again
by formatting all drives using a backup
else the only possibility is that the the CD-ROM has crashed.

YES SUJ_ENGICO YOU ARE RIGHT,the friend i am talking about is raghuveer.

Well if that is the case than I can tell u the answer in the class.
Others might have got confused what are we talking about.
Well Guys
We are in the same class.
Sometimes it happens that due to some mechanical vibrations or shakings some of the hardwares do not get detected.
Try going in the boot area & see if it is getting listed.
