CDRW HELP

[airy]

I installed the TDK VeloCD 48x internal burner in my system, and It is recognized in the bios, on startup, it detected the drive, installed the drivers for TDK CDRW4800B , then gave me an error saying: "FOUND NEW HARDWARE A problem occurred during hardware installation. This device may not work properly." In device manager, drive properties says, "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" In 'My Computer' here is what is displayed... (link to image) http://www.cloud10.org/gallery/data/500/30wheresmycdrw.jpg

NOthing changes if I uninsall and reinstall the drive through device manager. Drive is on Secondary IDE as master, and a CD-ROM drive is on slave, jumpers are set correctly. Tryed drive by itself as master and cable select and no jumpers, same problem.

I would appreciate any help anyone can provide... Thank you!

could this be the wrok of the 'Devil'? I was using the devils own key, changed it with the bluelist keygen and updated to sp1. I think thats where the trouble began. Im waiting for my paid copy of xp to arrive and hopefuly that is the problem... I know, im a bad man!

When I get problems like that I boot to Safe Mode, delete all IDE devices and IDE controllers in Device Manager and let Windows redetect everything. Still a mystery what causes the problem.
