Hello, i am new here but i need help with my CD drives. I have a Gateway Performance from 2000. It has windows 98 2nd edition. It also has 128SDram and a 600mhz PIII. I have 2 CD drives. One is a DVD/CD drive and the other is a CD writer drive. I recently began to have issues with both. THey would sometimes work. Sometimes not. They would give me the "drive is not ready" error. Or sometimes, they would not appear in "My Computer" at all. The computer did not recognize them as being there. I have tried to contact gateway and they did not help much. They told me to reseat the cables which i did. I did this and it didn't help much. Now the drives are in My computer but do not work at all anymore. I get the "drive not ready" error everytime. I have tried everything i can. please help me
