under Driver details I have for my DRD8160B (driver
version 5.1.2535.0):
1)C:Windows\System32\DRIVERS\Cdrom.sys
2)C:Windows\System32\DRIVERS\imapi.sys
3)C:Windows\System32\DRIVERS\redbook.sys
4)C:Windows\System32\storprop.dll

Same drivers for my Plextor drive as well. Am Im missing
any crucial drivers here that would cause my device
manager to give yellow exlamation marks?
