I have a 50X CD drive on a PC. ITs on its on IDE channel as Promary master. For some reason the HDD is the secondary master. (Another long story.) Some times it works fine. I did a complete install of Win98SE with it. Then when I go to load office it claims the CD rom is dirty however it reads fine on my DVD-ROM. I've replaced the everything but the cable in this setup. Is it possible that I need 1) a different cable or 2) to clean the drive (no idea how to do that.) This failure causes games (the primary use of this CD-ROM) to shut down.
Thanks In Advance,
