[gui-talk] need help installing external CD drive

[Baracco, Andrew W]

It probably is not getting power.  Perhaps it needs to be plugged into
AC as well as the USB port.  If it does not require AC power, and
derives its power from the PC, then it must be plugged into a USB 2.0
port.

Hi, listers.

The internal CD drive on my Windows XP computer stopped functioning, so
I 
bought an external CD-ROM drive with a USB cable connection.  When I
plug it 
into the computer, it shows up as CD Drive J in Windows Explorer, but
when I 
try to access the drive, I get the warning sound and a message saying
that 
the drive is not accessible.  Anybody have any ideas as to what I'm
doing 
wrong?  Sure would like to start burning CD's again.  Help would be much

appreciated.
