All CD, CDRW drives use generic drivers. Go to Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager. Click on the + box on CD drives, remove your CD-RW drive then re-boot the computer. Windows XP will re-install your CD-RW drive and it's drivers. If you are refering to your burning software a re-install of the software is required. Best to delete old before re-installing.

hi clark ..the computer has detected the cd rom/rw hardware. Now the problem is that it says "the driver for this hardware may be missing or corrupted".
