to reinstall the drivers for you dvd-rom drive, just turn off the computer, and unplug the IDE cable, and power cable from the dvd-rom drive, turn the computer on, let windows load. then shut the computer down again, plug the IDE cable and power cable back into the drive. when windows oads, it should reinstall the drive itself. need help, email me at RTCGraBBerX@aol.com
