Help, I was uninstalling Roxio CD Creator and somehow I lost the drivers for
the CDROM. Windows "sees" my CD ROM's but they have yellow exp symbol.
Short of reinstalling Windows XP how can I get my CD units back online?

Thanks in advance.

Here is something you can try. I had soemthing similar
happen to me and I did this and it worked for me. Unplug
your CD drive or drives and reboot the system. After the
system comes up and obviously doesn't see the drive(s),
shut down the system and reconnect the drive(s). Windows
should automatically redetect the drives and it should
also reload basic drivers(that Windows already has) for
the CD drive(s). I have had this happen a few times and
so far it has worked for me flawlessly. Give it a try and
good luck.
