I use "K-LiteCodecPack510Full.exe" and it works great. Music and movies.

willy,
Programs ~usually~ have to be re-installed, unless they are truley "StandAlone" programs. I would move any data files you have to E as a safety backup. The programs to run files may have to be re-installed once you reload Windows, but at least your data files will be there as a backup.

For joe7278 and Babycakes11...

Just to add to Dan's post...I use "Shark007's Vista Codec Package" from Shark007.net - Windows Vista Codec Package It is fully compatible with WinXP (I can vouch for this). They also have a version for Windows 7.

Optical drives don't need any extra drivers since Win 2K.

One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
Restart computer.
or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
