hey everyone!
i got this problem that im unable to solve. maybe one of you computer experts can help me out a little. you see, normally i fix everything on my computer, just by takin the time for it and google alot. this problem, however, is about to get the best of me.
here's my problem:
al of a sudden, my cd/dvd drive is out of order. really, all of a sudden... now, i don;t use my cd drive all that much, so maybe it was going on a little while, but i never made any interior hardware modifications or install anything big.
when i boot the pc, it says this exactly:
drive 2 not found: parallel ATA, PATA-0 (pri ide master)
and then the press f1 or f2 option, i bet you know what i mean.
at first i thought it was just a puny little virus, that i just had to knock out of my system, while i drank my morning coffee. sadly, i was wrong. it;s 11.30 pm right now, and im writing my first "please help me, dear god, i beg of you, please help me-post" cause i just ccant seem to find a solution...
other people posted about this problem, but they just dont have the same circumstances like me. for instance: i didnt moved my pc, not even an inch... i never replaced my drives, i dont have any virusses, i havent bought any new hardware whatsoever! i even didnt do anything mayor in the last couple of months. so it's not the cables that are a little loose, and it's not the driver who;s giving me such a hard time...
my cd drive wont show up on my computer or the driver list. it seems he's not even there... i know the driver itself isnt damaged because he popped out one moment and i could use it, but the following moment i booted, it was broken again...
can anyone, please, help me a little?
there must be someone who knows how to fix this, most iritating problem...
i hope to here from you guys!
good night to all...
bye!!!
