CD Rom Drive Not Present, But It Is

[Guest]

Windows XP can't find my DVD Multi Drive, but I know it's plugged in and
working because it's a laptop drive, and I can still eject it. I have also
booted Linux from the drive, so I know it's working. The message I get in
Windows says that the drivers were successfully loaded but the drive couldn't
be found. If nobody can help me with this problem, I will be willing to
reinstall Windows if that has the possibility of fixing this problem.

do you get any error codes come up, i,e 21/32 or anything along those lines??

No error messages, the drive just doesn't work for Windows. This is the
message in the device manager:
"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot
find the hardware device. (Code 41)"
