The drivers are cdrom.sys, imapi.sys, redbook.sys, these should be in the
c:\windows\system32\drivers\..folder/dir, with the storprop.dll file located
in c:\windows\system32\..folder/dir.. Those four files are in the drives
properties, under driver details, this is strait from my device
manager...Hopefully these files are still on your HD and you can reinstall
the drive...

Use the Infotool to verify the media your drive can use, firmware version,
use it to create a report that can be cut and pasted to a post, use the ASPI
tab to verify that ASPI is "NOT" installed on your system, yellow bar at
bottom is normal for an IMAPI system..
That is what I see on my system and both my optical drives are working
great, burning CD's, DVD's, etc..

Snap,
You say your firmware was good, does that mean you have the latest update,
if there is one..?
What burning app are you using..? What is your optical drives make and model
#..?
Where did you get the ASPI detection tool from..?
