Is it because the DVD laser is more dangerous?

Will the IDE ribbon I’m using for my CD drive in my computer also work for an IDE hard drive?

Would you mind specifying the difference or at least how I would find out?

It says the device cannot start error code 10? The only problem is that the bios recognizes it but it doesnt show up in my computer. In the device manager theres a symbol next to it which is saying theres a problem but i cant figure out whats wrong.

If you reformat your hard drive do your CD drives still work?

If I was to reformat my laptop’s hard drive, would the CD drive still work (or the drives on my desktop computer if I reformatted it)? and if not, how would you reinstall it? Also, how do you reformat it without starting Windows?

why has my cd rom drive stopped working on Windows XP?

More Details, The Cd Rom does show up under my Computer as drive D:/ When you open the drive door is does accept the cd and it will play music cd’s. It just will not run data from a program such as D:setup.exe. The drivers are in place and the system hardware manager shows the drive name, under drive properties, it shows that the drive is enabled and working properly. But it ain’t working. All programs that I try to install just sit there. Thanks for all your help, but we haven’t hit on the problem yet. I think it is a simple little windows xp thing, but I haven’t found it yet. All suggestions would be appreciated.
