Cd Rom, RW Suddenly Not detected

[got_ammo]

I posted about this in my Shared IRQ thread but i thought it would get more attention here. Windows will not display my drives in my computer, and when i go to device manager i see this:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) for both my cd rw and cd rom. These have been working perfectly up until this time. Also, I noticed that my Plug and Play Software Device Enumerator has the same error to it. Thanks for the help.

Sounds like a motherboard driver issue. You might try updating the driver or removing it and reinstalling it. Most likely it has to do with the chipset that controls your IDE controllers.

Alright I'm installing the latest via 4 in 1 drivers and I'll report back if it solves my problem.

UPDATE: Installed the via 4 in 1, hasn't solved my problem. It still has the same notice in device manager.

Ever since I upgrades to XP I have a similar problem with my CR/RW, a Sony 24x10x40. I have found my problens are due to software conflicts between XP and B's Clip my UDF program.
You can check on the properties then check the recording tab of your CD/RW in my computer and turn off Windows recorder and see if that helps.

CaptTuna- Tried that, didn't help the problem...

Have you tried removing the offending devices from the device manger and then reinstalling the drivers when it finds the hardware when rebooting?

Yes I have tried doing this... but as my luck will have it, I am still geting error 39 when I try and re install the drivers. It says the drivers might be corrupt, but I have no idea how to replace them if they are...

Massive edit.
I should have read your other post first.
Go into your bios set the floppy to first boot drive and check that the CDROM drives are recognized just for the hell of it.
Disable ACPI ( this can cause trouble and I tell you why I suggested it a little later ), set plug&play to no, take reboots advice and disable any serial ports you won't be using-com1, com2-and disable USB if you won't be using it.
Go to the site of your HDD maker and download a zero fill utility on to a floppy.
Follow instructions and erase your HDD.
Why?
Getting an install of XP to change IRQs can be impossible.
Go back into the bios put your CDROM first and install XP.
Now check device manager.
You've moved you sound card to 4 and nothing should be sharing IRQs. I'm assuming your NIC is in 2 leaving 1,3,and 5 empty.
If so great.
ACPI can't pile 2 or 3 devices on the same IRQ if it's disabled but, here's the trouble part, disabling it may keep your comp from powering down properly. Worse it has been known to keep XP from installing. You're more likely to get the 1st problem than the 2nd.
Once you're sure everything is clean shutdown and if/when it hangs use the power switch on the back.
Wait a few minutes turn the comp back on from the power switch go into the bios and enable ACPI continue into windows and go into device manager again.
Click view and check the box labeled "show hidden devices" You want APM/NT legacy Node. If it's now enabled, good, if not check enable and exit.
AND/or open power options in control panel and if there's an APM tab make sure enable advanced power management support is checked.
You should be good to go, try a proper shutdown and powerdown, and get on with installing your drivers.
If XP will not install, shut down, unplug, remove your other cards and, with only the AGP, card and try again.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Right now I think i'm going to do a repair of Win Xp, since I do not want to reformat or anything like that. I'm hoping this solves my problem! I'll post back with the results.
