I have a DVD drive and a CDRW. Both quit working randomly. I look in Device Manager and they are there and , according to Device manager, they are OK and working properly. I uninstall them and reboot and XP finds them and all is OK for awhile. I can't pinpoint anything that causes this. It started happening after I installed round cables to DVD,CDRW and Floppy drives. I tried reinstalling the ribbon cables but that didn't help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
