corrupted registry?

[Franky]

I have a TDK dvd burner that came bundled with Roxio
software that was necessary to install for the device
driver. I also have Pinnacle's Studio 8 dvd editing
software that is evidently incompatible with Roxio. I
uninstalled the dvd portion of the Roxio software program
and have successfully burned many dvd discs. I then
decided to install an earlier version (5) of Roxio's Easy
cd creator to burn music cd. Since then, Win2k cannot
recognized either cd device (the TDK burner or the regular
cd player). If I go to Control Panel > System > Hardware >
Device Manager there are yellow exclamation points by each
cd device. If I right click on Properties there is the
message: " Your registry might be corrupted. (Code 19)" I
have disconnected and reinstalled both cd drives, didn't
help. I have used the Win2k registry repair tool, didn't
help. Is my only option to format my hard drive and
reinstall Win2k?
