OK, I have a weird one here. I was installing Norton Systemworks on a work computer and right in the middle of it the CD drive disappeared!!!. It poped up with a message saying to put the cd back in the drive.

An Interesting Question to debate on...

paul_h_amiga
It seems that whenever a new graphics card, sound system or whatever comes out I see a lot of posts on forums (not just this one) saying that they simply have to have them becuase it is a tiny bit faster than what they have now be it a the ATI Washing powder or the Nvidia Geforce.

New ti4600 - Device cannot start. (Code 10)

isochar
I have two partitions with the same OS. For some reason I'm getting this error message on one of them. On the other it works just fine. I've done the typical uninstall/reinstall procedure through safe mode, but it didn't help.

CoolerMaster DCD-4002

Hipshot
This is not really a problem, but do any one use this, is it good? Cause my disks get real hot like 42C and I need to cool them, and this seems like a good solution. . . . .
