In device manager next to the drives there are yellow and black exclaimation marks. I have tried uninstalling the drives but on reinstalling them i get an error message saying a problem has been encountered and the new hardware may not work properly...and the problem continues. Any help greatly appreciated. Last edited by Ian P; Nov-24-2007 at 08:55.
