I've run into a few problems lately, like my DVD and CDRW are getting recognized by XP anymore...I have a couple of ! in the device manager ( I know what they are from)(CDRW and DVD also have ! next to them in the Device Manager). My question is..I was told that I should simply reinstall XP over itself..that would take care of those problems. Is that ture? or should I do a clean install?
