Original title: windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (code 39) This applies to the generic disk drives not the DVD drive I am running windows vista service pack 2.

For reasons unknown to me I got the error code 39 on my DVD drive AND my generic disk drives after a reboot. I unintalled the software I had just installed.didn't change a thing. Anyway, I was able to go into the the registry and delete the upper and lower device filters for the CDROM and now have my DVD drive back. I tried running System Restore and it won't work. It completes OK.but says it encountered an error so could not restore the system (this is regardless of what date I chose to restore to). This is the second time this error 39 has happened to me and a system restore fixed it the first time. My hard drive is listed in with the drives with the error 39, but doesn't have the same error, although it uses the same drivers.
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup ( CM_PROB_NO_SOFTCONFIG Text that is displayed in Device Manager: Windows cannot determine the settings for this device.
I know this is an issue with the registry.but I am Leary about deleting the limits filtering for the generic drives for fear of losing my hard drive. Now, my question is: if I remove the upper and lower filters for the disk drives and reboot, am I going to hose my hard drive?
I did a search and had no luck here with this. Did find a mention in the french edition, but all it said was to reinstall which I have done repeatedly. I am running windows xp and recently had to reinstall some software due to a windows crash. I reinstalled clonecd 5x and now when I click past the first start up screen accepting the ula I get a windows crash. Starting in safe mode and trying to start clone cd I get the error message. 'Unable to load device driver.
After installation of clone cd windows has to be restarted.' Well I have restarted and continue to get the message.
Any help would be appreciated.
