Device is not ready?

[galdoes16]

I'm trying to use a CD in windows 98, and the drive keeps telling me it's not ready? I'm stumped as to what to do.

all cd's or just one?

The CD drive and floppy say the same thing, but under the device manager, it says they are working properly.

Ive tried 4 cd's so far, but to no resolve.

sounds like the drive is bad, try swapping it out with a diff one.

The nice thing about CD-ROMs is that they are pretty cheap so replacing it won't break the bank.

did you install anything right before this happened? any games with starforce?
