Found New Hardware Wizard can't find CD driver

Posted: 12-11-2003, 07:21 PM
I installed a 52x32x52 CD-RW driver but windows
reports "New Hardware Found" but then can not find a
driver for it buy searching itself, the Internet or Win
XP CD. Now it also started doing the same thing for the
old CD-ROM drive which was performing normally.

First I connected on secondary channel as Slave and CD-
ROM as Master. I
tried it on its own
as Master. Then I changed CD-RW as Master and CD-ROM as
slave, both on the
Secondary channel.

In Windows Explorer both are listed and I can read the
files stored on CDs.

In Device Manager they are both listed as "... working
OK". CD-ROM slave
location is shown as 1(1) but the location for CD-RW is
shown as 0(0), same
as the HDD. I would expect it to be 0(1). Am I right?

What can I do to stop Windows finding a "New Hardware"
everytime I switch
on, and is the "location" data correct, if not what can I
do to change it?

Now I removed the new drive and old CD-ROM drive gives
the same problem. Everything works OK except windows keep
trying to install a new driver every time I start windows.

I am using Win XP Pro adn Pentium 4
