Hey, anybody know much aout fixing computers? My Drivers for my two CD-ROM drives broke or something, but they aren't working. My friend who works on computers said to delete the driver, shut down the computer, then un-plug the drives. Start it back up, then shut it down and plug them back in then start it up, and he said it would find them and re-install it. I tried this, but after I remove the drivers the computer freezes and when I start it up, the drivers are still there. Anybody know how to fix this? Or do I need a new computer?

Looks like one of your IDE controllers is busted but it can't of done it by itself?

Yup, odd, that. If it does turn out to be your IDE controllers, you're going to need a new mobo unfortunately. Best get it checked out properly though, before you go and splash out on a new one.

I just had a new motherboard put in in december. Think maybe i got a virus that messed it up? But anyways, I'll take it in to get it checked out. Thanks for the help guys.
