cd-rom

First, I assume that you are having problems accessing your CD-ROM drives in Windows.

I recommend installing (re-installing) the chipset / motherboard drivers for your OS.
In particular, the IDE bus-master driver.

You might be able to correctthe problem by deleting the IDE controller from Device Manager, and allowing Windows to re-install on it's own.
I normally see better results and performance using the chipset mfg drivers.

If you need help identifying the chipset on your motherboard, go to;

You might try this Regedit trick. It's worked for me on non-USB IDE drives.
