I recently decided to attach a jaz drive to my computer. I went to the iomega site and downloaded their latest software for the product however the software seemed to have messed up my registry. Ever since I restarted after installing the ioware as they call it the cdroms do not load in windows 2000 server. I also have windows98 which is on another drive I booted it up and the cd rom drives boot up normal. I have detached the jaz drive and uninstalled the software however I am still receiving the same message. In the device manager for my computer under the 2 cd rom drives in the device status box it says the following: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19) Click Troubleshooter to start the troubleshooter for this device. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling however I have had no luck. I am very upset with the ioware software and do not wish to reinstall my operating system. If u know what the problem might be whithin the registry or how to solve it I would really like to know. Thanks for your time. Scott

Greets, Just an Idea, Did you try disk managment? Rescan disk and try changing maybe the drive letter. Hope this help, just thowin' out ideas :) Brian

The bad news is that you probably messed up the registry but the good news is that Windows holds a backup of your registry. Click Start>> Select Run Type in the following: Scanreg /restore This will allow you to try a registry that might work.

Thanks for the data and the info but sorry its not as east as disk management or else I would have had it fixed way before I posted this.. But thanks for the advice it is appreciated. For the second response will unfortunatly that command does not work in Windows 2000 Server. It very much works in Windows 98 however. There might be another command to do this but I dont know what that is. Besides I am guessing this will not solve the problem. I received a E-Mail back from Iomega--The people who's software has done this mess to begin with and they leave me with little and no response. They say to manually install the drives which I have tried to do and I wrote them that they were not paying attention and the second response was to run the repair utility for windows 2000 server which is on the Setup CD. However I am afraid this might cause other problems with my system. So any other ideas be glad to hear them. Thanks. Scott

I had the same problem and Gateway directed me to the microsoft website and gave me this solution, I believe it was for Code 31 and Code 19. It solved my problem.

I recently bought a windows me cd rom disk and it requires a code to make the disk work or something they wanted a code from behind the case of the disk i dont have the case no more plus i bought the cd in nyc so i was hoping u guys can give me a code so i can install my windows me disk thanx

Just to followup on response 4, it worked like a charm! Thank you VERY much for that input, as regcleans and reg-utilities didn't fix the problem. I received this problem booting into win2k natively after booting into a vmware instance of the same installation. Thanks again! -Matt
