Ive lost all my CD Drives.....I Give up
I cant figure this one out. I think this happened when I did the last Windows Service Pack Upgrade but I really cant be for sure, anyway my 2 CD Rom Drives are unrecognized in "My Computer" and have an exclamation on them in the Device menu. I have tried removing them and reloading but the same problem. Windows says it can find the software "please in cd"....which I cant. In the Properties info , it says that there is an error in the registry. I've did a registry clean and repair, even tried a completely diffierent CD rom with the same result. I really dont want to go back in time and Restore for I will probably lose valuable stuff.
Any ideas????????? |

Your motherboard's website will have the drivers.

might list it on outside cover of the CD itself. try and find the mobo brand and model then google search for new updated drivers. SP2 might not like your old mobo CD drivers. also do the same for the CD drivers themselves

I'd be looking at firmware (bios) update from your MB manufacturer as well.

Try removing everything under IDE controllers and reboot. CD/DVD drives use all native drivers so XP should be finding those without a problem.
The other possibility is looking for updated drivers for your MBD controllers. If you're still stuck, post the make and model of the MBD and we'll snoop a bit.
