Make sure that the drive is showing in Device Manager...if there is an error code, post it here. Also, make sure that his ASPI isn't corrupt.

Right click "My Computer" go to properties, then Device Manager. Expand IDE drives and look for error code in the troubleshooting message box or even some Yellow !'s or ?'s.

You have a conflict with your hardware...

Proceed at your own risk, this link will tell you how to delete conflicts within your registry...using regedit is very risky.

Is there an error code given? This could pinpoint the problem.

This is the information and resolution page for Code 41, follow the step explicilty and it should be a breeze. I'm glad you posted the exact code so you aren't going into the registry blindly. I've performed this task...just double check each step with what you are doing before executing the action.
