Digital Camera and lost CD-ROM drive

Apr 18, 2005 12:49PM PDT

Technically, this isn't a digital camera problem, but it started with my camera software, so here's my best shot at explaining it.

I had my Kodak Easyshare software open, and was looking at some photos I had burned to CD. I got called away from the computer for a couple of hours, and left the software running. When I came back, I had an error message that said Phonetools (my answering machine) had an error and had to be shut down.

Since that point, I have not been able to access my CD-ROM drive. I get a message that says the drive is not ready, Retry or Cancel. I've re-booted like six times. I ran a diagnostic for hardware problems, and the only one I can find is that the driver KODAKIFS cannot be found.

I would reinstall the software, but it's on CD, which doesn't work now.

I'm running a Dell 450 MHZ Pentium III with 96MB of RAM and Win98.

Here is the Problem Device description:

Any help?
