I had a cd r and a cdw on my computer (XP Home w/SP2). Both stopped working two days ago. Device mgr. message "Windows successfully loaded device driver but cannot find the hardware device (code 41)" Since my computer is 4 years old I installed a new Sony DVD/CD drive unit to replace both of the old drives. Windows will not recognise this new drive and I get the same message in device mgr. The new drive shows in the BIOS. My computer is a custom build which has been great. Please help. >> Stay informed about: Windows not finding cd drive
