I got the same problem, i have a cdrw and DVD rom installed and get the
message that the file system is corrupt or comes up blank, I was getting this
message b4 i installed SP2 and also after.... I go into device manager and
go to drive properties and populate the drive and it tells me that the
Partion Style is (MBR) and tells me the size of the disc... so i am thinking
it is a software issue that has casused it, as I have installed 2 new drives
and get the smae message.. any help plz TIA

There is no need to update the BIOS or Firmware for the devices when
they all worked properly before.

Thanks for the effort, neither link applies. I think something is wrong with
the IDE2 port. I can get one of the drives to work if I set it up as a slave
on the main hard drive.
I'm still gonna fiddle... but will probally just drop back to one HD and the
CDRW.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
