code 39

Did you try to Remove the yellow exclamation via the Hardware Manager, then
reinstall drivers?
Make sure cables are seated properly.
Test drives in another PC if possible.

i cant remove the exclamation marks, and dont have
another PC to try them on, but where can i find the
drivers so i could try that, i will try the cables
tomorrow morning, but i know it has power because the
drives open and close. I also read on some sites today
something about internal drives like mine which is an
arctec, on xp dont need drivers because xp comes with them
on?

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or
non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers
references for your cdrom(s))


Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this
website
