I accidentally deleted my SCSI/raid drivers

Feb 25, 2007 12:31AM PST

I am running
Xp home
MSI 875p neo3 F
pen 4 2.8 GHz
1 Gig memory
2 x Maxtor l01m120 120 gb SATA HDD
All-in-Wonder 9800
HP DVD 420I
Memorex CD/DVD rom

I somehow deleted the raid drivers and now my cd roms will not work. Device manager gives me a code 41 under the cd rom drives.

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)


Under the SCSI/raid controllers, I get this:

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

I cannot reinstall win XP without a CD rom drive and cannot install drivers without redoing XP?

Completely at a loss. This is my baby, I built her in 2003, and I can't fix her for the 1st time!

I just finished trying to delete the HKEY-... but my computer would not allow it to be deleted.

Then try in SAFE MODE plus...

You may need to take ownership of the key or it's parent key.
