I meant to say device manager. Are you using XP? I've been on XP so long I don't remember anything from other OS's. If you are on XP, right click on the My Computer icon, select Properties, click the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager button. Right click on the offending device and select uninstall. That will do it. Then, as I said, shut down, plug the ribbon back in, start her up and see if she automatically installs the cdrom.

You can uninstall the cdrom from the device manager and reboot with out pulling the ribbon first if you'd like. That might do it. I've never been that lucky though.
