Several months ago my Win2000 PC was hit with two viruses (Nimbda and trino I think) that corrupted the registry and corrupted several dlls, etc. I cleaned it with McAfee.

After this I reinstalled Windows over the previous in order to save my apps and other
settings. I also reinstalled the CD drivers, the SIS IDE drivers, and anything else I could think of. This fixed most of the problems, but for some reason the floppy and cd-rom drives will not quite work right. The floppy constantly says any disk is not formatted(when I know it is) and will not list the files. The CD drives (a 16x burner and a 48x CD-ROM) both appear as icons in Windows Explorer but you cannot browse the contents of CDs - a dialog says "E:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function". So I cannot play music CDs or browse/view CD-Roms.

The strange thing is that some applications still work with the CD-Rom drives. The burner software (Nero) still works, so I can burn new CD's, and the ripper software works (CDex) soI can create Mp3's from a music CD... but after I burn a CD, I can't use it on this computer - even though it works fine on others.

If anyone knows of a fix for this, or knows someone who does, or has any suggestions I'd
appreciate it!

I was getting the same error when trying to access the cdrom, but it was fixed by following the instructions in this article:

Check the registry and see if those upper and lower filters are present. If they are, deleting those values should fix the problem. Then you have to check to see if your cd recording apps still work right or if they need to be reinstalled.
