I'd vote for a hardware problem. Specifically the first thing I would check is the cable that goes between the CDROM drive and the soundcard. My guesses are in descending order of probability: a) One of the leads has broken b) It's not connected properly c) One of the connectors (could be either end) is bad c is the least likely, but I've known it to happen. Most likely it's either a or b, in which case it's an easy fix. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!"
