435722	2006-03-05 20:56:00	I would check the BIOS, see if it shows here, and if it doesnt, check the power / data cable in the case. It may have come out.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
435723	2006-03-05 22:19:00	Do you have any other optical drives apart from the DVD drive? It's either dead, a dodgy cable, a loose cable or the registry is corrupt If you're sure the cables are ok, then the first thing I'd try is Doug Knox's drive fix (assuming your using XP) www.dougknox.com	bartsdadhomer (80)
435724	2006-03-06 02:20:00	ok thanks before it try that maybe this will help determine my problem, i went to device manager and for my drives it shows this img301.imageshack.us and under properties is says Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) thanks hopefully someone can help me get this working becouse im really not to good with computer problems thanks	t_mac_ca (9918)
435725	2006-03-06 02:26:00	looks like there are some other devices with problems lower down with problems as well, what are they? Try right clicking each device and select uninstall, reboot and let XP redetect them Also this support.microsoft.com I'd run doug knox's fix first	bartsdadhomer (80)
435726	2006-03-06 04:34:00	thanks the doug knox's thing didnt work but the microsoft support webpage did everythings working agian	t_mac_ca (9918)
435727	2006-03-06 06:15:00	Glad it worked. Re dougknox: that's unusual as dougknox's reg fix does exactly what the MSKB does, did you reboot after applying the fix?	bartsdadhomer (80)
