Unfortunately, it's a laptop, and the CD drive is wired in, so physically disconnecting it is not an option. The BIOS does see it. DOS doesn't have the drivers to see it.
It used to work. It has mysteriously failed.
It would take a *lot* of CD burning to back up my data. I don't think it's a practical way to go - some sort of tape streamer is called for.
