I can boot into DOS to read the CDS ...but no in windows environment. I have patched my OS with service pack 2. Are there any new patches that I should update to resolve this problem??

When you did an upgrade did you just install Win2k over ME? Or did you do a clean install (i.e. Format the drive and then install Win2k)

Okay.
Have you tried a different CD-ROM drive? Different IDE cable for the CD-ROM? On a different PC running Win2k?
