Hi,
(Assuming cd-drive cables are all attached
properly...) I am not familiar with xp, but
in Win9x you could go to device manager by
right clicking "my computer" and clicking on
properties. Then you would find and remove
the cd-rom and restart. It would find the
hardware again and might ask for drivers.
Maybe same principle will work in xp...
