sounds like it may be dead, windows should be able to run it with a generic driver. try booting from a win98 floppy. --fj
I installed a CD-RW 52x24x52 drive from Utmost Technologies on a system running Windows 98Se. The drive is installed properly however it is not detected when I restart the computer and does not show in My Computer or Device Manager. The installation disk seems to be bad. I've searched the Net and cannot find any drivers for the device and the company seems to be non-existent. AccessTek and Utmost Tech may be the same company. When I replace the drive with my CD Rom everything works normal. Is there any way I can find drivers for this device?
