CD-ROM drives won't work in XP

[sm8000]

Is there any reason a Windows XP computer would flat out refuse to load CD-ROM drivers? I've tried one and two drives, switched cables, changed jumper settings, even updated the firmware on one of them. CD-ROM drives appear fine in BIOS and at the POST screen, but in Device Manager they have a yellow ! on then. If I put an Iomega Zip 250 drive in its place, it shows up fine and is useable. I also tried enabling Removable Storage service but no go. What gives?

Have you checked the drivers for your controller? What information does the device manager provide about why the device is unavailable?
