Both my DVD Rom and DVD/CD-RW will not show up under my computer. Under
Properties they both say: Windows cannot start this device because its
configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.
To solve the problem, I figured I would reformat Windows XP, however since I
cant access the drives I obviously can't run the Windows XP Startup Disk.
What else can I do? I'm not very good with computers, but I do use a
Firewall, Norton Anti-Virus Protection and Spyware removers to keep my
computer as safe as I can. I have checked for viruses and havent found
any...what can I do?
