Disabled Drives

[brian_acunett]

Hey guys. Havent posted here in a while and I am hoping this is the right place to post. My computer is having problems with the drives. It is giving me the following error message: "All of your drives are set to disabled. On this operating system, in order to start you must either physically remove your drive or enable at least one drive."

How can fix this issue? The CD ROM will not operate at this point..

Thanks,
Brian

One way is to right click on my computer then click properties. After that go to the hardware tab, click on device manager.

Once there find the desired drive under dvd/cd-rom drives (for cd drive) or IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers (for hard drives). right click on the drive name go to properties then at the bottom of the general tab there will be options (disable, enable).
