Hi, 

You probably have your CD-rom/Cd-RW drive attached as a slave device on the Primary 
IDE channel. You could try deleting  the CD-rom in Device Manager and reboot to see 
if Windows redetects it and reinstalls the atapi drivers for it. Better yet, if you 
don't have any devices attached to the Secondary ide chan you could attach the cd-rom 
as a Master device to it instead. (Change the master/slave strap options on the back 
of the cd drive first.) That would allow the hard drv to run at its optimal speed 
also.
