Anyone know where I can download the samsung sn-124 cd rom driver for free? I accidently deleted important system files using a freeware registry cleaner and now my cd rom driver is missing and it won’t let me do a system restore. I have tried uninstalling the driver and restarting and windows XP Home can’t find the driver. Here is the error code under device manager: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
That worked perfect, thanks!
