This is an internal drive is it not? Are you asking about the cable position & or the IDE channel?

By "bus" "serial" "port" I am thinking USB

Just to add more questions: did you make any hardware or software changes before this issue?

What are the verbatim error messages that you receive? Are they always Code 39?

Sorry I wordded that wrong, Yes it is an internal CDROM, The error code keeps saying code 39, I physically pulled the rom out, and the cables, and made sure they were plugged in, tryed reinstalling the driver, and nothing....

Did you try the Troubleshooter in the Device Manager?

On the General Properties tab of the device (right click the drive), click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.

After this you might want to consider downloading & installing that firmware from Samsung.

This might help XP in recognizing the drive.

Instructions for upgrading are included in the download.

Please refer to the attached file "How to upgrade firmware".
