CDRW and DVD not accessible
I recently reloaded XP home SP3 to clean up some issues, but a short time after this one began, I keep getting windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware Code 37 on both CDRW and DVD drives in Device MGR. Neither drive will even spinup the doors open and close normally. I have removed both the power cables and IDE cables a couple of times but it hasn't helped also tried uninstalling and restarting same result.
