Hi, i got a 48x cd-rom on a AMD alton 800mhz with 128mb
SRDAM and 32mb videocard, before windows xp hone
loaded,it detected that there is a cd-rom drive, but when
windows loaded, I go to my computer and there is no icon
for the cd-rom, when i put a cd in it, it won't load
anything. IN my computer, all it showed was my hard
drive, the floppy disk icon and the shared documents.

See the second "problem" (read the caveats
Run the provided registry patc

That should fix your problem (basically, a filter driver is missing or non-operational, the registry patch will delete the filter drivers references for your cdrom(s)

Basically, the reg file from above carries out the steps displayed at this website in addition to removing some drivers that may have been used by older versions of Easy CD Creator that are known to cause problems with WinXP

CD-ROM Access Is Missing and Messages Cite Error Code 31, Code 32, Code 19, or Code 39 After You Remove Easy CD Creator in Windows X
