Windows XP Drivers for CDROM drives

[Roger]

Hello,

I was having intermittent troubles with my cable
connection and thought it might be my network card. Since
I have two cards I decided to disable the one I was using
and enable the other.

When I disabled the network card strange things happened!

My two drives, CDROM and CDRW/DVD drives stopped working.
In device manager there is an exclamation point next to
each. When I tried to uninstall and reinstall, same
results. Tried System Restore (never works)

I can't access my Windows CD for drivers and I can't find
them on Windows Web site or the Internet.

I know it's not my drives because I have two hard drives
and they work fine on the other HD.

CD ROM- Liteon JLMS XJ-HD 166S
Samsung- CDRW/DVD SM-352B

The manufacturers Web site say use Windows drivers.

Anyone know where I can get drivers for these device
drivers?

Roger
