Ahhh, this just keeps getting better by the minute ... By renaming the file (thanks
Ricer, glad I didn't remove it) neither of my cdrom drives (including the rewriter)
are recognized by windows. I've now got a little yellow and black asterisk next to
the two cdrom drives, and this message in the details for each, "Windows cannot load
the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code
39)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
Hopefully, the problem may be easily solved by naming it back to it's original name.
Perhaps if I replace afs2k.sys with a newer version of the file, that would maybe
fix things. Any ideas anyone?
