Disk in CD Drive not Recognized by Win 2000

[sbev]

I ejected a disk from my read CD drive during a disk copy and since then Win 2k won't detect a disk in the drive. It says the device and drivers are OK so it seems to be a software problem. The busy light never goes on and no software recognizes a disk. Selecting the drive in Explorer often produces the error message "Drive not accessible Incorrect function" The other CD drive is fine.
Any help appreciated.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Device Manager

Navigate down the list to CD Roms, expand it, then right-click on the CD drive and click 'uninstall'. Reboot your PC and Windows will reinstall the CD Rom.

That should fix it.

Win won't disable (uninstall) the drive; it hangs indefinitely when asked to. I've tried booting without power to the drive and then rebooting with it powered up but the same problem remains.

sbev enter the bios and reinsert the cdrom setting in the devices section.So the systen redetects the setting on boot up.Also check the devices for "DMA" setting in device manager.If switched on switch the setting off and retry the cdrom.This might help.

Have you tried disconnecting the CD drive - starting 2k without it (so should be gone from device manage). Then reconnecting drive - 2k should now reinstall it when next boot.
