XP Not Recognizing CD-Rom Driver.

by xrenx215 . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

A client gave me an emachine computer. It had a Hitachi drive on it. He did not have the restore disk for it. I reformatted his hard drive and did a clean install of XP home. I downloaded all the common drivers (sound, video, modem) Off the page for that model PC. But It seems to want a driver for his cd-rom. Its recognized in Bios, And in the device manager There is the yellow exclamation point. I swapped out this drive for a known good one. Same issue, Both Bios and Device manager recognize the model of the drive, But it seems to want drivers for it. Any suggestions?
