I started having a lot of problems with XP a few months ago. Properties not working, services will not start, no systems restore, not being able to move files and no sound, and their are no network connections, but I can still get on line. And when I tried to fix something it would come back that I needed to reinstall XP. So I got a new recovery disc from Dell. But when I run the disc it stops setup when it can not find a CD Rom drive. I have checked the cables all seem to be correct. I have a Dimension 3100. It has 2 80 GB hard drives, a CD RW Drive and a CD-RW/DVD Drive. And in Device manager it shows a Nero Image Drive SCSI Cd Rom Device and device manager says they all are working properly. So I guess what I need to know is how to make XP setup see a CD Rom drive so I can get the reinstall done. Is their a way I can get setup to go ahead without finding the CD Rom drive. I am not a computer expert by any means. So I need step by step directions. I am afraid if I don't get the reinstall done soon XP might just quit all together. Can anyone help?
