Please, how can i fix this:

I have WinXP Pro. I switched my PC on this evening, the CDROMs were not
shown.

I did a system restore - still no luck. I used the trouble shooter - no
luck. I disconnected both drives, then re-connected - still no luck.

I haven't installed/uninstalled anything i can remember. I get the following
message "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but
cannot find the hardware device (code 41)".

Both CDROM drives don't work !

I tried another HD, and they are OK on that (so it isn't the CDROMs).

Please can anyone advise what i should do ??
