I'm having a problem with drivers in windows xp professional, and I'm not quite sure how to get around it. I have two cd-rom drives, one a lite-on cd-rw drive and the other a generic dvd-rom driver. Both are on the same IDE cable, with the generic drive as the master and the other as the slave. They've worked just fine for a few years now, but as of last week windows seemed to have forgotten the driver information.
They're both still recognized by the BIOS, and function normally aside from the fact that windows fails to recognize either drive or assign them letters. Windows recognizes both drives in device manager, however, and notes the lack of a driver. When I attempt to download a driver and install it, though, I get an error message saying that the drive can't be found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated- I'm completely stumped. :confused:
