pierangler Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I just finished a fresh installation of Windows 98se on a vintage HP Vectra VEi7 computer - it was released in 1999. Everything is working perfectly - all devices with assigned drivers. The only issue that I cannot resolve is that the CD Drive icon does not show up in My Computer along with all of the other drives. I can use Add New Hardware to find the CD Drive - it finds it instantly - and add it. It then shows up as a drive in My Computer. But, when I reboot or restart the computer, the CD Drive icon is missing again. Anyone have a tip on how to get this fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLow Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 >in My Computer First check that CD-ROM drive is present in Device Manager after reboot (better in hardrware tree view mode, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
