Windows explorer and in Device manager they have an exclamation mark in front of them, with the error saying that the driver has loaded but that the drive itself could not be found

Does anybody know how to install the original WinXP ASPI-drivers so that I can use my drives back?
Reinstalling WinXP? deleting drivers and installing new ones?

thx

:p

It might actually be easier to do a system restore. Just a thought.

Repair the installation?

Thanks for the suggestions, but I tried to do system restore but WinXP couldn't restore two of last restore point for some kind of reason.I don't know why. Uninstalling CDRWin is also something I tried but that didn't help me either...
