Just 2 nights ago, Windows XP Home Edition suddenly decided that neither my CD Rom nor my CDRW drives were connected anymore. Both had been working fine, then suddenly both E and D drives vanished from Explorer, My Computer, and everyplace else.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the associated drivers, and am always informed that while the drivers are fine, there are no drives connected. The troubleshooter says this is a Code 41, whatever that is.
Since I have Connectix Virtual PC installed, running 2 virtual OS's, and both can access my CD drives without a problem, I know for a fact that they ARE connected.
Someone in these newsgroups sent me a file called XP_CD-DVD-Fix.exe which I've rune 3 times, with no result. Can someone, PLEASE, in language a mere mortal can understand, tell me how to fix this. An EMail reply would be much appreciated.
Thanx:
