Lost my CD drive...

New to the board. First post. I have an HP unit with 98SE (Celeron 466). I can't open the D: drive. No CD. Not only won't it load when I put in a CD, but it says "The device is not ready" when I try thru My Computer. I've gone to Settings Properties and everything looks OK. No Exclamation marks. I've tried to update the driver, but it tells me the best one's already there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If the CRDOM shows up in Device Manager and all settings seem to be OK then the Drive itself may have gone bad.

Sometimes removing it from the device manager and shutting the machine down ( power off ) will bring it back.

And if that doesn't work, boot into Safe Mode and remove all CDRom drives you might find in device manager. Shutdown and boot back up.
