cd-rom not recognized properly

I have install a new DVD writer but the drive is not recognised properly. It
reports:

This device is not working because windows cannot load the drivers required
for this device. (Code 31)
it does however realise the device is there.

This is a Windows 2000 PC and a single device set as Master. I have tried
the following.

1
A different drive which also reports the same problem

2
Deleting the drive and allowing windows to find the drive
again.

3
Checking that the device is found in the BIOS. It is.

4
Deleting the secondary IDE channel and allowing windows to find it again. It
did.

5
Trying the drive as slave on the other IDE channel. Same error.

6
Identifying the drivers that the device uses and replacing them from
downloads of the Internet. (All drivers ostensibly OK for Windows 2000)
Drivers replaced cdrom.sys, redbook.sys, storprop.dll.

7
A friend of mine also had the additional driver imap.sys which I also copied
to the SYSTEM/DRIVERS folder


I would be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions for a solution to
this problem. THANK YOU in
advance for any suggestions.


Robbie
