UPDATE: CD Rom Drive and Floppy Disk Drive, Same Type of Problem at the Same Time!!!

[Brad]

Hi,

Here is more information I forgot to mention:

This laptop had no trouble reading the "burned" CDs before this
trouble started. Note: I often used the CD drive to read a particular
"burned" CD. Now, it has trouble reading that CD. Note: Originally
my laptop before I sold it to my cousin in June.

Floppy drive problem, which started at the same time as the CD
drive problem. There is an on board floppy drive controller, to the
best of my knowledge. I have tried the floppy boot disk for this
laptop, which always worked before.
