I just installed Win 2000 today and everything went fine. I then started installing drivers and all, but when I got to my cd writer software, all downhill. The cd-rom was working fine (obviously, I was installing software for it off of a cd), then it had to restart windows in the middle of the installation. Windows booted back up, then the install asked me for the cd(which was in the drive). I click on OK a bunch of times to no avail. I then open up My Computer, and both my cd writer and dvd drive arent even there! Device manager shows them both, but both have (!) next to them... anyone else ever see this? Its just funny how they both worked until I tried to intall software for the writer....grrr
