missing harddrives

Greetings; I have 3 cd roms and 5 harddrives in my sys. The C: and 3 cdrom are the main motherboard controllers and the other drives are on a PCI AT 100 controller. When I boot the PCI Controller loads with the 4 drives, however in Vista only the Motherboard devices are showing up in disk management. Drive info: c: = 120gb cdrom-1 = cdrw cdrom-2 = dvd cdrom -3 = dvd-rw dl drive-2 = 200gb drive-3 = 120gb drive-4&5 =both 80gb How can i get Vista to see these other drives? I am also missing my external 250mg zip drive.

IS the PCI card recognized and correctly installed in Vista? Is it "banged" in the Device manager?

In my Device Manager for my DVD/CD-ROM drive it says "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" Do you know how to fix this. I tried checking for solutuions and updating the driver, but none of those worked

How about searching this forums for dvd? There will be 48 messages, hopefully one of the several suggestions will work for you.
