can someone give me some help with my current pc troubles please?

Hello all, im currently up shit creek regarding the disk drives on my pc (both cd-rom drives and the one for the floppies), and i was wondering if any of you kind fellows could offer some advice as to how i can fix the fuckers.

'so what's wrong then?'

Well, its like this, if i put a disk into a drives, i cant access it. If it's somethingthat's ment to start automatically, it wont, and if i go into 'my computer' and directly click onto any of the drives, i get an error message saying the following (depending on which drive im trying to access)

A:\ is not accessable. Incorrect function
D:\ is not accessable. Incorrect function
E:\ is not accessable. Incorrect function

All rather fucked up, but the fun's just beginning, because when I go into the 'properties' for each drive, im told that they're all working perfectly! Like fuck they are! But it gets better still, Windows media can still copy music from a cd to the media library perfectly, it tells me what the cd's called and everything. Great.

Oh yeah, and I've only got one pc game that still chooses to work under these spooky circumstances (Worms 3d Blast, just incase anyone was wondering)
I've had a few runs through the trouble shooter to see if it can illuminate me as to what I'm missing, but to no avail, as nothing it's presented appears to incorporate the specific problem I'm having.

P.S. i'd just like to mention that when it comes to this sort of thing I'm a complete fuckbake without the slightest clue, so if it turn out that this is actually some simplistic baby problem along the lines of putting the shapes into the correct hole, hey, just remember, I'm dumb, so humour me.

Thanks.

What version of windows are you running and have you checked to
see if your ide cables are connected properly?

Also check to make sure the drives A D E are going to the proper devise.
I'm assuming A is floppy, D is your burner, E is dvd and or cd.

1) im running Windows 2000
2) I havn't a clue what an ide cable is, but i just went and checked all the cables, and everything appears to be in nice and tight (although I might check again later just in case).

Yeah, all that's accounted for (although on my pc D is the dvd/cd and E is the burner. its always been that way, so its not some new change that's been made).

By the way, it may be of some importance to note (and i write this part with some hesistation, as may highlight my ignorance of this sort of thing), that about a month ago the entire setup was moved from the downstairs to the upstairs, and naturally everything had to be disconnected and then reconnected again, nothing got dropped, smashed, banged or otherwise, so I'm quite certain that there was no damage caused during this switch over, but I dont suppose its possible that anything could be in the wrong port? Is it?

ps: yeah i know i just said 'a month ago' so why am i only just whinng about it/ Until now I hadn't needed to use any of the drives (and I've been using media player quite comfortable for a while now, so wasn't going to be too suspicious about anything).

Thanks all

Try this fix:

It has to do with Windows Media Player 7.x and it's Adaptec CDRW
Plug-in.
Uninstall the Plug-in to fix:

Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs-->select Windows Media
Player-->select Change-->Check the box to remove the Adaptec
Plug-in-->Reboot.

If not, do a search in deja.com for other solutions, but I reckon that should do it as I've seen the problem before in win2k.

re-install woo!

EDIT: yoiks, just went to deja, and oooh, that's gonna takes me a while, i think I'll continue to rely on the kindness of strangers for the time being. Thanks anyway though.
