I'm having a lousy evening! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Got the machine fixed tonight - upgraded to Windows XP Home.

Everything went brilliantly until I installed Roxio CD burning SW. It was not compatible with XP so I uninstalled it - but it obviously removed more than it should have as I lost both my CD drives. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

As far as I can tell the following file should not have been removed:

cdralw2k.sys (windows/systems32 - folder.)

If anyone is running Windows XP Home - could you please send me the file? (risto@ristoklint.com). Should it be enough to restore the file to get my CD drive back? (If it was the only file removed?) I want my Xara X installed!

Yeah, I registered a new account... I forgot the password AND my ISP are having problems with their servers so I can't retrieve the reminder. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

Time to switch to Mac... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Please help.
