I've installed 3 different cdrom drivers and every time
the hardware manager reports that the drivers are
corrupted. I checked with each different maker of the
cdrom drivers and they all have that XP is suppose to
have drivers for their drive.

Goto http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
See the second "problem" (read the caveats)
Run the provided registry patch

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
