Drive Not Found- Error 41

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Strange development in migrating from XP Pro to SP2, or somewhere along the
way.

I have a mix of EIDE AND SCSI devices on my main system and run XP Pro and
SCO OSR (Unix). Both OSs share two SCSI CD drives, one of which is a
burner.

Unix sees the drives just fine. XP Pro installs drivers for the SCSI CD
drives, however it reports Error 41 (device not found) when you check
hardware properties.

Drive letters are no longer assigned for these two devices.

I don't remember exactly where this issue developed, but had been noticing
(and ignoring) some problems for some time.

Any suggestions to bring these drives back to life under Windows would be
gratefully accepted.

Thanks,

DAW

    ... First, a really large number of the systems around me are still SCSI systems which use not only SCSI hard drives, but also SCSI DAT drive tape backup systems, additional SCSI hard drives which can be plugged in, but are not normally there, in mobile drive trays; as well as, in some cases actual SCSI CD-RW units. ...
