Dont know then, either the cable isnt in all the way, or the ide connection sounds like its knackered.

Code 31, 32, 19, 39, 41 - Windows XP

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the software vendor for assistance.


Restart your computer.

Goodluck

But works fine on another PC.

547408 2007-05-06 00:18:00 I was downloading Guided Help from support.microsoft.com but I'll have a look at radium's solution. pcuser42 (130)
547409 2007-05-06 00:32:00 It worked. My DVD drive is now back in My Computer. Now that it's there, I might update the drivers. :D pcuser42 (130)
