Just updated XP Pro to SP3. I thought it went smooth until I realized that
Windows XP Pro does not recognize either of my two optical drives, a DVD ROM
and a DVD-RW. The drivers are installed and updated, at least according to
Device Manager, but it can not locate them - they are listed in Device
Manager. I continue to get an error message, Code 41. How do I fix this?

You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an
error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD recording
program in Windows XP: "error code 31"
<Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot
find the hardware device. (Code 41) >
