yea i was hacked. I think the dude who is spying in on my system relized i was backing up files on to CD-ROM, they somehow disabled my CD burner from being used.

I just loaded up Adaptect CD Creator at it's telling me to make the device avaible for use, disable or remove the 16-bit driver from config.sys

Here is a copy of mine:

do you need any of this? Are you working in dos-mode (not the dos-box)?
If not, you might try moving config.sys and autoexec.bat somewhere else (or renaming it to config.sys.bak, auatoexec.bat.bak) . IDE and ASPI-capable (Adaptec?) CD-ROMs should work without device=-drivers.
