    Description

      I installed ReactOS-0.5.0-BootCD-Debug-r74115
      to an old upgraded gateway PC..

      my old PC has an upgraded to a CDRW Drive from what ever it had before to a Samsung SW-252 CDRW IDE drive
      https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-sw-252-cd-rw-drive-ide-series/specs/

      ReactOS does not see it or nor is there a device manager entry for it..
      even so a D:\ shows up in My Computer...

      I have tried inserting a CDR disc with my available Windows 2000 and Windows XP drivers for this old PC... but nothing is seen when I go to view D:\
      all but the gfx drivers are Win2k drivers and the gfx drivers support XP and 2000

      I have tried my USB Flash drive too but its not detected either...

      I have attached a Microsoft html archived webpage (.mht) with this old systems specs..
      u will need either MS Internet Explorer or "UnMHT or Mozilla Archive Format" extensions for Firefox to view the file.

      Model: Gateway Performance 866
      Mobo is the equivalent of a Intel D815EEA
      CPU: Intel Pentium 3 866MHz
      RAM: 512MB SDRAM Crucial (2x 256MB sticks) PC133
      GFX: 128MB ATI/Sapphire Radeon 9800 SE AGP 4x/8x
      HDD: 80GB Western Digital IDE
      CDROM: Samsung SW-252 CDRW IDE drive
      4 USB 1.1 ports (2 front and 2 rear)

      basic Microsoft USB Optical scroll mouse
      PS/2 Microsoft Keyboard

      but I wanted to at least get a bug report started..
      so don't hesitate to ask for more info if I can provide it.
