xp+kt400+drivers

when installing xp I didn't have my soyo driver disk so I skipped it. Could that be why windows XP Pro won't see my cd drive and cd burner?

thanks

Quite possibly. Though it's that your HD is being recognized and your CD drives aren't. Go get the drivers.

I got the 4 in 1 motherboard drivers for xp and they didn't do anything... I'm gonna keep looking. Anyone else have any ideas?

hmm.... I just have a VIA BUS IDE Controller...

Also under other devices I hav a "Raid Controler?"

I DL the HIGHPOINT IDE RAID Utility. I then extracted it to my deksktop, and have the XP folder, which contains a few dll files etc. Where should I put these dlls for them to function?

Thanks again.

goto the device manger right click on the controller click on update driver and tell it to look into that folder on your desktop
