the drive is detected in my bios, but xp doesnt post it when i go into 'My Computer'. it was working just fine yesterday, then the problem started this morning when i turned on my computer. i did get a new rounded ide cable a couple weeks ago, could that be the problem?
 
i swapped out the rounded ide cable, but its still the same thing. the bios detect it, i can boot from it, but xp just isnt detecting it. what could the problem be?
 
i think i found what the problem is. i went into device manager and under cd drive its has lite-on cd rw with a little yellow error indicator next to it. so i went into properties and under drivers it has this error

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

i just cleaned out a bunch of trojans the other day and upgraded to sp2, something must have gotten corrupted. anyone know where i can get these drivers manuely?
