I've tried accessing various configuration menus and restarted the
system many times. But the CD-ROM was still unavailable.
What finally appeared to do the work, though, was simply opening the CD
drive and poking on the read head slightly, shifting it a bit.
I restarted the system afterwards, had to wait a bit as the Explorer
started up, and then, the CD-ROM was accessible again! Wow.
This workstation is less than five months old, so it can't be too good
quality. I wouldn't buy Compaq for myself, that's for sure!
