CDR-W And DVD drive seen but wont work???????HELP

[NeWcS]

All of a sudden both my Liteon 40125s and my 10x dvd drive wont work. Both are found by windows(XP Pro) but with an explanation mark next to them. When I goto properties it says

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

I tried to uninstall both and and reboot. Windows found um again but with the same prob. Also, both drives are on diffrent IDE channels. One is on IDE2 and the other is on a PCI IDE card. I tried to reinstall the drivers but it got: Windows copuld not find a better driver......blah blah blah

I also tried del all registry entrys in regueads to these 2 but didnt do anything.

Can anyone help. Thanx
