Inspiron 9300 DVD/CD Drive Not Recognized

Drive is NEC DVD+-RW ND6500A. Running Windows XP Home. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling hardware and driver.  In 'Device Manager' get error message: "Windows successfully loaded device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware. (Code 41)".

 

Bought new external drive today, but get the same error.

 

From a post to another running Vista, see that registry may be the problem, but hesitate to try the same solution for XP.

 

Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Don R

Thanks for the prompt and "right on target" response.  It fixed the problem.
