Oy!. Ok so I am runniing some burning software, which crashes. Nero and Clonecd were both up, so I waited while a download completed and rebooted. While I was waiting I couldnt get my burnt cd to work, so I figured I made a bad cd. I rebooted and my dvd and cdrw were missing from My Computer. I looked in device manager and it said that there was something in the drive that had disabled the device, Error 42 I think but I am not sure. So I uninstalled it an reinstalled it. I have done this several times and now I get error code 19.

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

Any Ideas?
