compatibility mode problem - please help!

Hello, I've done some research to correct this prob with no avail 🙁 here's the problem:

I accidentilly installed some compatibility mode drivers when trying to get an old DOS game to work. The problem: I can no longer use my CD Drive in Windows 95 (won't even show in Explorer). There are conflicts with the primary and secondary IDE controllers and the following appears in the System -> performance tab:

Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance.
Drive X: using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system.

I've tried removing the IDE controller as well as some registry deletions of 'NOIDE' keys as suggested by the MS site. when re-booting I got the Blue screen saying a conflict with ide controllers (some compatibility and some not) thus it will change them to the way they were the last successful boot. On the next boot, the changes I made were un done.

any suggestions?? Thank you for your time,

Jon
