Uhh, last night I shut down my computer, but apparently it froze and there was nothing i could do except manually shut it off. I didn't know it froze until this morning, though. Now, when I turned my computer back on and tried to open up something that was on me E drive, it said "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'World of Warcraft.Ink (or any other thing on the E drive) refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, then try again."

So I thoought my shortcut wasnt working at first (I only tried one game) so I open up My Computer and WHAT?! My E drive isn't there. I restarted my computer and the same thing happens. Help! I have no idea what to do =(
 
The e drive must be your cdrom?
Unhook it from the pc at both the ide cable and the molex power cable, boot into windows. Turn pc off, then hook it back up and boot up again. This usually takes care of the problem.
Dont forget to ground yourself before you unhook the cables. Just grab the metal case with your hand before you touch anything inside the case, that will do the job.



Good advice + great people = tek-tips
