Device error code 41
Dear forum:
My CD-RW is not recognizing CDs in the bay and I tried all types, music, data, software etc. I am getting a code 41 "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)" error on the devices manager property of the CD-RW. I called DELL technical assistance and the person I talked to recommended that I re-install the windows OS. After I ended our talk, I realized this was sort of a catch-22 because I need the CD drive to do re-installs. Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

Massive thanks for the pointer. The error code has gone away now and the drive reads and sings fine. Only prob now is that My Computer takes a long time to list the drives. Once again, thanks!
