Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

My system: Microsoft Window XP
Home edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2

Sony Vayo - DVD/CD-Rom DRIVE Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-15

The drive does not appear on 'My Computer', and it is crossed out on Device
Manager.

I would much appreciate your help for sorting this problem.

Many thanks in advance.

Can't see it but, when I clicked on troubleshooting in Device Manager I got
the following:
'Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot
find the hardware device. (Code 41)'
