Go to device manager and uninstall the offending hardware. I had the same problem running Windows 2000 with dual DVD burners. They both stopped working and I tried unplugging them and rebooting-no luck. Tried fooling in the BIOS - no luck. Tried reinstalling the drivers - no luck.
The uninstall worked! After a reboot, Windows found the drives and installed them
