Where are you seeing these error codes? - in System Information and/or
Device Manager?
If so, then ...
Code 2
Depending on which device is failing, you may see either of two different
messages. This code means that the device loader (DevLoader) did not load a
device. When this device is a Root Bus DevLoader (for example, ISAPNP, PCI,
or BIOS), the following message is displayed

Windows could not load the driver for this device because the computer is
reporting two <type> bus types. (Code 2)

Contact your computer manufacturer to get an updated BIOS for your computer.

where <type> is ISAPNP, PCI, BIOS, EISA, or ACPI.

Solution button: None

When the device is not a root bus DevLoader, the following message is
displayed

The <type> device loader(s) for this device could not load the device
driver. (Code 2)

To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device driver.

where <type> is the DevLoader such as FLOP, ESDI, SCSI, and so on.

Solution button: Update Driver

In addition to following the recommended solution, try removing the device
from Device Manager, and then running the Add New Hardware wizard.

Code 28
The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28).

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver


Solution button: Reinstall Driver

This code means the device was not installed completely.

To resolve this issue, follow the recommended solution. If that does not
work, try removing the device from Device Manager and using the Add New
Hardware wizard to redetect it. You may need to obtain updated drivers if
the error still occurs.
