Default CD Question

Hi,

I've run out of options. I am running Vista Home 32. Everything has
been good for over a year. Then, all of a sudden 2 days ago my CD/
DVD's disappear. They are seen fine in the BIOS, but there is no IDE
or CD/DVD in the Decive Manager.

I'm seeing that 7026 error in the event log. I've tried over 20
suggestions from the internet, did a system restore from 3 weeks
ago........nothing is working.

So, I think it is time to re-install and see what happens. Problem:
I have an ASUS P5B motherboard, no CD. I cannot fund the driver CD
that came with it......so, how do I re-install??? I mean, once I re-
install, how will Windows be able to install the Network Drivers and
so on.......

I cannot find anything on ASUS's site, nothing at all.........

Can anyone offer anything?

Thanks!

Google Belarc Advisor. *Run it and look to see what it says about your
mobo.

Go back to the ASUS site and look again.


Ran the program.....nothing....no IDE anything........Re-installing an
Intel chipset right now. If that does not work...well, reinstall
time.....

It should have told you the model of your mobo!


Yes, it did, but no CD ROM / DVD stuff:

Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5B Rev 1.xx
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 1202 03/27/2007

Default CD Question

Many MOBO drivers just like other drivers for Vista are already built into
the Vista DVD installation files so you may not need a separate CD.
