Hi all!

This is basically my story, I've got a 4 year old PC (powerspec) with Windows 98. I needed to install a CD burner so I purchased one from Digital Research Technologies and went ahead to install it myself. Basically (according to the directions on the box) I popped out the old one and installed the new one in the same place and hooked up the wires and turned it on. The computer operates the same, appears to detect the drive on startup (and the light goes on when it starts up, the tray opens/closes, etc) but the computer has no icon or options anywhere to open or access the D drive. Basically the drive dissapeared according to the computer.

So in a nutshell, what can I do to remedy this problem? I need to burn a few CDs before I leave town tomorrow about noon.

I really appreciate any advice you can give!
