I hope this will be useful to anyone with driver problems for atapi as i found myself in a pickle with one of their cd roms yellow triangle etc. the problem is with the atapi drivers not being recognised- code 19 and when you update the drivers you ll be told their up to date= no fix. why this happens is antivirus programs can alter the drivers for roms in THE REGISTRY, you may have recently instaled norton 360 for example as did I which knackerd mine.
a genuine microsoft fix.
This is how you fix it for good go to google search engine TYPE IN the following numbers - 314060
go to this page -scroll down it and you,ll see 2 icons men with spanners one is a patch for vista the other for xp .
download the patch for XP even if you have vista as the vista patch wont work when downloaded you can run the fix which will need a computer restart. once restarted your computer will recognise your cd rom again.
who,s the daddy!
