last night i had no problems with my iomega cdrw and aopen dvd-rom, they both worked. this afternoon they have disappeared from my computer. they show up in both the bios and in device manager. although device manager gives the same error for both "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)". i uninstalled both devices and restarted. windows xp installed both drives when i entered so i checked my computer and device manager again, same problem. then i disconnected the drives completely started up windows and then shutdown again. then plugged them back in and booted up windows to the same problem as before.
this is all the troubleshooting i have done. any help would be appericated, other than reinstalling windows im kinda lost.
