My computer won't show the cd drive...Here's the problem: Primary IDE Controller and Secondary IDE Controller have yellow exclamation mark beside them in Device Manager. I've tried reinstallin the drivers but no success! Any ideas??

Try going into Device manager remove the cdrom in there and reboot and let windows pick it up then reload the drivers when prompted

Mine doesn't work either and it is recongnised in dos and bootup. I have removed the drive controller because their is no CDROM in the Device Settings. Still, when it reinstalls, NOTHING.
