Help NooNoo. I have recently noticed, while running a Windows 2000 Pro system, that the CD-ROM dirve, normally Drive E, does not show up in the My Computer section, and under Device Manager it is highlighted with the Yellow exclamation point and a CODE 10 - Device will not start error. After replacing the CD ROM drive, motherboard, and interface cable, I am now convinced this is a registry / driver issue. Two occurences for the drivers show up in the Registry under Control Set 1 and 2, and the Current Control Set. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SYSTEM - CurrentControlSet - Enum - IDE. Physically removing the device and removing the entry in the Device Manager was done. One entry still remains in the
registry as noted above, and it cannot be deleted, by warning I receive when I try to do so in the registry. Another site mentioned changing SECURITY settings so he could delete those entries in the Registry, and he mentioned it was an option in the toolbar across the top in the registry, but I can't find that. I have not done anything to the IDE CONTROLLER SETTINGS in the device manager. I think I am in the area of concern, but I can't seem to get over the hurdles to complete where I want to be.
