Installed new DVD-RW drive,win2k pro keeps asking for driver
Everytime I reboot the system the hardware wizard comes up asking for device driver but the drive is working for almost a week now. If the drive is working why does it keep asking for the driver?.

I've not come across any messages like this under Win 2k, but then again, when I build boxes I usually install any DVD-ROM or R/W drives in first before the install of the OS, not afterwards.
Perhaps this is the issue, I'll have to try this on Monday and see what happens.
BTW - like sapiens has suggested, have you made sure you have the latest IDE drivers installed, perhaps re-install them to see if this resolves anything. Perhaps a reg key was not created properly or something.
Also you can try installing a 3rd party DVD decoder for the drive, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD and then see if it still asks for this.

I noticed that there are still registry entries for the old 36x cdrom I had in there before but when I try to delete them I get an error message saying I cannot delete them. any ideas?
i went to device manager and uninstalledl in safe mode my 2 cdroms and both ide channels. rebooted and it now keeps doing the new hardware detected thing with both cdrom drives. wierd

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem as the original post, my Pioneer DVD-121 drive still does this after i updated the firmware, the same happened to my Pioneer DVRA07 after a firmware update, i corrected this by flashing an older firmware back onto the drive, i have not resolved the DVD-121's problem and it's really annoying, i noticed that it tries to install itself twice everytime i boot up and fails on the second attempt because its already installed, try googleing "the firmware page" as a firmware update could fix it. good luck.
