    CD/ROM driver
    « on: January 17, 2010, 01:28:58 PM »
    Hi.

    Using xp service pack 2.  The CDROM drive I have is JLMS XJ-HD1665.

    I was having issues with my CDROM drive, so uninstalled the driver software and restarted the machine, hoping it would re-install and everything would be fine.  However, the CDROM drive is now unavailable and a drive labled K: has appeared at the bottom of the my computer window.  K: appears to have all the functionality of the CDROM drive.

    Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get rid of this K: drive and make the CDROM drive icon work again.

    Cheers, guys.

    Optical drives have not needed drivers since WinME...
    Right clik the K drive and select Remove/Uninstall...and re-boot,

    Since CD-ROMs don't have, or need "drivers" in Windows XP, I am wondering what this person actually uninstalled...
