    I bought a USB Flash Drive, and installed the software onto my computer. When i did that, It erased my CD-RW Drive and CD-ROM Drive. My Flash Drive has a letter of D: the same thing as my CD-ROM drive. When i went into Windows Media Player, It said "Detected No CD-RW Drive"? How can i re-install my drive??? Please Help! I already tried restoring the computer, reinstalling the drive and trying to delete the USB Flash Drive Disk!??

    didn't erase anything, just some conflicting drivers. You can't "Re-install" an optical drive, try checking the jumpers and making sure they're set from master to salve accordingly if on same IDE cable. What are the other specs of your computer

    Running on an Windows XP Home Edition. N e more just ask. Ok, I got the usb flash drive letter change to (E), but now i need to reinstall the drives. I have no clue how to take apart the computer in the back to get to the drives, and im not going to do that. When i open the drive's they both said

    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
