LG CD-RW driver

[icy_oblivion]

I just installed a new hard drive as the slave on my second IDE channel. The master was a LG CD-RW CED-8080B and now the CDRW isn't recognized in My Computer. When I go to the Device Mangler it has an error on the CD-RW. The error reads

"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device, but the error message remains the same. I have searched online and there are some people that say a registry change fixes the problem but I would prefer to not mess with the registry unless someone can tell me that it will fix my problem, hehe.

Thanks.

Oh, and my system is:
PIII - 1GHz 133MHz fsb
LG CD-RW 8080B
primary HD - 40 GB IBM on its own channel
secondary HD - 60 GB Maxtor newly installed and on channel
with CD-RW
256 MB SDRAM
Radeon 7500 PCI
OS - WinXP Home

It is recommended that you make all optical devices slave to hdds (master), and to not put 2 optical devices on the same cable. I have a LG 32x10x40 as secondary slave to a Maxtor DX740 master and they work fine together.

Forgot to mention, once you change the cable be sure to switch the jumpers on both drives appropriately. Also make sure both drives are recognized in your Bios before proceeding to OS (XP Home).

Well, that sounds like a good plan but right now I have a micro ATX case and can't really switch my burner and HD so I'll have to try to figure it out with the burner as master. I will be getting a used mobo in the next week or so and think I will need to get a new case so if I don't get it sorted out by then, I will use your idea. Thanks anyway.
