f20tiger Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have 2 of these drives and when I install them the bios sees 2 sata cd/dvd's but when I go into devise manager in XP, it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)" I would have thought that the drives would be picked up by the different SN's. Any way I can fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Are your hard drives IDE or SATA? You may need to update your Mass Storage drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
