I got you all on speed typing...ha ha for future reference... What would I do without this site... What exactly did you do, if I may?Yes Broni, you may At first I followed a post I found in the threads, because I didn't WANT to have to start a new one if there was already one on here, and there was. So, I first uninstalled both DVD/ and CD Rom drives and rebooted and it said it reinstalled them, but they weren't showing. So, I went back in and unistalled both of them again, and uninstalled the IDE ATA/ATAPI secondary channel, then the first channel and rebooted again. It said it reinstalled all of them, and I went to look and it still wasn't there...so I finally went to the site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 And typed in the code 41 error it was giving me ant that is the URL it sent me to. I used the "fix it for me" and it did....end of story.... I love this site....you guys are all awesome! I'm sure I will be calling on you all again Nice. Thanks for posting back Your welcome!
