"How to Determine If Hardware or Software Is Compatible with Windows XP (Q295322)."
My uncle gave me a computer to fix and im stumped. He put in a new cd-burner. Whenever windows xp pro loads it says the driver for the cd-burner will cause it and the other dvd player to not work.If you look in my computer, no dvd player or cd burner is listed. I entered BIOS and they are both being detected. I then unhooked the IDE Cable and power connector, now when the computer starts it says to put in a boot disk and then says the processor is running at an incorrect speed and it may cause it to hang. If i connect the cd burner and then disconnect the dvd-rom, it boots up like it did before, it lists the cd-burner in BIOS as being detected, but wont show up when windows loads. I tried booting up in safe mode also. Same results. Any ideas? I was going to try whipping out the Hard drive and loading a new image, but If thats not the problem i dont want to go through the hassle of backing their files up.
