u might be able to find some drivers for the cd/rw there.

I'll look around and see if I can find more for ya.

rossco: thanx i'll look

virtualbody: windows xp pro. i did uninstall the drive and restarted. it told me that it detected a new device etc, but when i went to the device manager it had the same error message.

hippychick: thanks.

To summarize, if a) the CD-ROM drive is NOT D.O.A. and b) Windows is installed properly and c) the motherboard's chipset and IDE controller are working properly with the correct drivers, then the CD-ROM should work. YOU DO NOT NEED WINDOWS CD-ROM DRIVERS FROM CYBERDRIVE.

Maybe you need your chipset drivers or IDE controller drivers?

first link: i found that link earlier, i dunno which ones to even use... looks really confusing.

second link: tried both, neither worked.

third link: no results for cyberdrive or atapi.


virtualbody: how would i know that?

i dont know what deleting the upper & lower filters has to do with anything, but it sure fixed my problem.

hmmm, these are some old posts.. but for anyone that comes accross this post, as I did, you might find it difficult to copy driver.cab from disk because of the longer file names in the cabinet files. (I am not an expert on this but that is the most logical view i read in another forum - check annoyances.org)

I have had this problem in Win2k but not XP, but then again i had other files that wouldn't copy from the XP setup disk aswell. Can also depend on hardware (CPU clockspeed, RAM) - make sure it is fully upgraded.

If you have latest h/w and OS & still no luck try getting the latest service pack before going further. Win2k/XP SP1 is supposed to resolve by placing sp1.cab but these r just updates & won't necessarily help all your installations. I have to enter the Windows setup disk each time I want to install some hardware components, others are ok...
