OS - Windows XP Home
BIOS sees DVD Combo drive as Secondary Master but when Windows fires up, it
is not visible in My Computer. Device Manager shows it with the yellow
warning exclamation mark and refuses to install it properly. I've tried a
different CD/RW and encountered the same problem. I've tried swapping the
ribbons on the IDE Controllers on the MOBO, still the same problem. I've even
reinstalled the Chipset and IDE MOBO drivers, still the problem exists! In
the Device Manager, the properties for the Combo drive show the following
message:
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
Can anybody help with this please? I'm trying to fix it for a work colleague
and it's his home PC so I need to get a solution asap.
Many thanks in advance.
