I can't access any of my CD drives 
After a horrible Windows XP experience that resulted in me having to do a repair install, I am back in business except for my CD-drives -- actually an NEC 8x DVD-RW and a Plextor CD-RW.
Windows believes the drivers are corrupt, and I am unable to reinstall them. See screenshot here: pic
Any suggestions? I have tried the following:
replacing cd-rom.sys w/original from the CD
uninstalling and forcing a re-detect of the drives
removing all possibly related software (CD-burning apps, copying apps, daemontools, etc)
I'm out of ideas. This isn't like a video card where I can just go download the driver... can't find the appropriate files anywhere. I do have the WinXP CD, and all the cabs are on my HD, but it's not doing me any good so far. Help!
Thanks in advance
