41 Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but
cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)
A driver was loaded but Windows cannot find the device. This happens when
Windows does not detect a non-Plug and Play device.
If the device was removed, uninstall the driver, install the device, and
then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the driver. If the hardware
was not removed, obtain a new or updated driver for the device.
If the device is a non-Plug and Play device, a newer version of the driver
might be needed. To install non-Plug and Play devices, use the Add Hardware
wizard. Click Performance and Maintenance on Control Panel, click System, and on
the Hardware tab, click Add Hardware Wizard.
On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start
the troubleshooting wizard.

You can try moving the CD to an alternate IDE interface, to see if the
problem persists, and then finally consider that the CD may just be dead.

RESOLUTION
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These
problems might require that you reinstall your operating system.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify
the registry at your own risk.
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps: 1. Start Registry Editor
(Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the
registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Quit Registry Editor.NOTE: After you remove the Upperfilters value
and the Lowerfilters value, if you notice lost functionality in a
particular program, such as CD recording software, you may need to
reinstall that software. If the problem recurs, consult with the
software vendor for assistance.
7. Restart your computer.

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
