Hello there,

My CD/RW aways claims that it has an empty medium inserted. No matter if there is or is not a disc in.

I can boot WindowsXP instalation from this CD/RW - so it is not broken. It 'stopps' working when WindowsXP are loaded.

What shuld be the problem?

I have deleted CD/RW and apropriate IDE Channel from Device manager, rebooted and the controler and CD/RW were newly discovered but the problem was still the same...

What else can I do?

Need an Minolta PagePro 1100L driver for WinXP

hyundai USB 2.0 in 1

Am having the same prob, but today my computer doesnt show that i have a dvd/cd drive.there is a exclamation mark in the device manager, it shows an error "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)".
