Try it??? and if itisnot working,take another gander at the system directory and see if it is flagged and why.
Well, now they have yellow exclamation points by them again in the Device manager.
When I put a CD into the drives, the green lights flashes for a few times and then just stops.
And now I am getting this message:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
