XtremeMaC Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) Hi therei just installed macromedia flash mx and very interestingly all my cd/dvd rom drives are gonehahah how nice? none of my cdroms work now, not even the virtual onesi tried sfc scan guess what it wants a cd. it asks for the sp2 cd, i have the cd but not any of the files, i had deleted the iso image that i made for it. i've the sp1 and sp2.exe but that'll be too boring.. is there anyway around this? what could have gotten corrupted? cdrom.sys? inf? help ( :cry: --> where is that cry emoticon all the cdroms have exclamation mark in device managerWindows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.edit: I've started to unpack sp1 iso with winrar. but it'll prompt me to insert the cd. aaaaa annoying!!

Justice Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Try downloading nero and installing the nerodrive for a virtual drive.You don't by chance use NTI cd maker do you? I uninstalled that once and it took out all my optical drives with it. I had to re-install it to get my optical drives back.Have you thought about deleting the enum key in the registry and have it re-discover the hardware? (I have a feeling it still woudln't work)Then there's this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;314060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
