Fujitsu Amilo Pro V2020 CD Driver wont load - XP

Hi

I have a Fujitsu siemens V2020 notebook. And XP does not see the CD drive, has a question mark in device manager. The drive is working as I am able to boot off it on startup, But when in Windows XP...no joy, no drive available, device manager sees the DVD drive but has an exclamtion mark next to it ( says its a NEC ND 6500a)

Any help would really be appreciated..and some points given of course : )

Here is the reg file I always use:

create a text file (notepad) copy the code and paste, save with the extension ".reg" and then run.
This should take care of the situation (if it is a registry issue).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Issue this addresses: Use this when a CD-Rom drive is not working properly (being seen, showing up as a HD, etc) within WinXP.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
