I have two cd drives on my desktop. Up to last week they worked fine. Now the computer will not recognize them. In the Device manager they are there with the Yellow ! and say that the drivers are corrupt or missing. When i go to unistall the driver or update them, i just get the same problem or it says i have the newest driver. Any thoughts?

The driver for your CD drives is part of the driver for the chip-set on your motherboard.

Start by removing the CD drives and the IDE controller from Device Manager.

Re-boot the system and let Windows install the drivers for all "new" devices.

If that does not correct the problem, download the latest chip-set drivers from the system or motherboard manufacture.

Install them and re-boot.
