  If these don't work, replace your CD/DVD drive.

• TS-l663b cd/dvd "device cannot start code 10" after uppgrade from vista to windows 7 home

  Compaq CQ60-216DX

  Hi, I've updated from Vista to Windows 7 Home, and now the CD player is missing and displays an error code "10" DEVICE cannot NOT START, under Device Manager.

  Looked for the drivers updated on the HP Support, there is none for CD player.

  Cannot back driver, grayed out.

  Restore opportunity to go back 2 months and still no progress. Installed software recently withdrawn from the HP (C5280) printer as well.

  Immediately after the upgrade, the CD player worked fine. Same load of music in iTunes.

  I am at a loss. Any ideas?

  Thank you

• Why won't my CD/DVD Slymtype player work, error: this device cannot start. (Code 10).

  Here's what I have:

  SlimType DVD C DS24CZP ATA Device

  Windows Vista Home Basic

  Acer aspire 3680 series
  ------------------------------------------
  So here's my problem:

  Recently, I put a DVD disc into the drive. Then, once I closed it, it started to turn, then what sounds like a sound signal, spining, beeps several times, and this will be repeated for a few minutes. Once it stopped, it does nothing. You can not even here it spining. No AutoPlay starts, none Open box, nothing at ALL. The computer doesn't even recognize that there is a DVD in there.

  So, I advanced and found in the Device Manager. The picture showed it was a disc with a CD on top (representing is a DVD/CD player) and in front of it, there was a «!» So I opened the information for it. Here's what he said:

  "This device cannot start. (Code 10) »

  When I try to make windows to search for a solution, it came not with something. I tried to update the driver; no effect. Tried neutralizing him and he the reactivation. No effect. Tried unistalling and restart my computer. When he tries to install it, it fails.

  So now, I did everything I know. Does anyone know how to fix this without having to replace the drive itself? Or should I replace it?

  Thanks in advance!

  Method 2:
      
  I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and see if it makes a difference, also check the firmware updates.
    
  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

     
  a. open the Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  b. in Device Manager, look for the CD/DVD and then double-click the device name.
  c. click on the driver tab and then click on uninstall the driver, and then follow the instructions.
