I just installed a new hard drive as the slave on my second IDE channel. The master was a LG CD-RW CED-8080B and now the CDRW isn't recognized in My Computer. When I go to the Device Mangler it has an error on the CD-RW. The error reads

"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, but the error message remains the same. I have searched online and there are some people that say a registry change fixes the problem but I would prefer to not mess with the registry unless someone can tell me that it will fix my problem, hehe.

Thanks.

Oh, and my system is:
PIII - 1GHz 133MHz fsb
LG CD-RW 8080B
primary HD - 40 GB IBM on its own channel
secondary HD - 60 GB Maxtor newly installed and on channel
with CD-RW
256 MB SDRAM
Radeon 7500 PCI
OS - WinXP Home
