I have this cd-rom for a long time and works fine.But i think it happend because i used a cd that is not very good i think,,,because after i used the cd this happend.And it happend a couple of times and i had to reinstall win again .Please tell me if it can be resolved...So Windows says..Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)What can i do i tryed to uninstall and reinstall doesent work.Just if i reinstall windows but i dont want to make this .I want to know if i can do something.Please

I have the same problem. Deleting the drives doesn't help - comes back in the same state. I have 3 drives; two (DVD and CD/RW) are internal and are completely hosed; one (DVD burner) is firewire and seems to be ok, but doesn't show up in Windows Explorer. I'm running W2K - any ideas on how to fix the registry?

Help!
I guess I'm not alone on this problem. I've tried system restore, but it seems this problem was dated back past the earliest system checkup. I've unplugged, re-plugged anything and everything... nothing. Please! I'm running out of ideas here!
