I recently upgraded to XP and I'm not sure which drivers I may be missing and where I can find them. I found drivers for my scanner, modem, and the printer driver was included. So far I see that my CD Rom is not working. Please help!
Thanks,
Becki

Unless you have a cd rom that Noah used it should work fine with xp. What seems to be the problem with it. :confused:

Have fun at the forums.

thanks for your reply!

I put my CD in and I hear it start, but nothing else happens. I went to my computer, and I'm not even seeing an E or an F drive.

OK. First thing is to go to computer management.
Start menu/admin tools/computer management. Fom there go down to storage/disk management. Look to the right. If your cd rom is there just assign it a drive letter. Right click on it.

From becki74> They aren't there! Only C and D drives. ACK!

Have a look in the device manager. Right click my computer/properties/hardware/device manager. If your cd rom is there remove it & reboot. See what happens, it might pick it up.

If it is not there go to the control panel/add hardware & see if that picks it up.

This is a last resort> open the case & make sure the cd rom cable are plugged in tightly both ends.

Someone else might have other ideas.

I haven't downloaded this yet, but I wanted to show someone the error that I'm getting. I can't even find my E and F drives.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
