CD-Rom drive does not work

My gateway computer is 6 years old.  It came with a CD - DVD drive, HL-DT-ST

DVDRAM gma - 4020B.  It has worked perfectly until today.  In Device Manager it

has a yelllow exclamation point.  I tried to update the driver and I get the

message Windows successfully this hardware device driver loaded but

Cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41).  Any ideas how to solve this problem.

Thank you

An idea:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

His title: you can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD in Windows XP registration program: "error code 31".

The body of the article lists 41 Code as one of the mistakes that can produce this problem. There are ways, I think, to get the error without uninstalling explicitly software CD writing.

The fix is not difficult to apply, but to delete two keys from the Windows registry.

  • External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello

    AFAIK this external must have a power adapter. You use it too? I'm not 100% sure, but there are difference how much power Gets the USB slot. Toshiba notebooks is around 500 my and some producers another laptops send between 300 and 500 my. The external device requires approximately 700 my.

  • CD-ROM drive does not work after installing a new game

    Problem with CD-ROM!

    Hello, before a few months my cd-rom doesn't work properly, one of these days, I decided to install the new game, and it shows that my cd-rom will not read the disc!
    OK, I thought: Maby the cd is damaged in anyway so I'll put another cd to see if the problem persists, I had a new cd empty and rolled on the cd-rom and waited but nothing showed... I searched some tips on this problem and here's what I did:
    1. clean the pc with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Norton.
    2. re-installed CD-ROM drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N)
    3 downloaded Fixit and troubleshooted CD with it, it says that the disc was not readable, anyway I know it's readable!
    4. download CDCheck and checked the E: pilot, it is what comes out of http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/8175/48433351.jpg

    I don't know what to do next, but after trying it, I think it's a hardware problem.

    The D: drive does not appear in Windows Explorer,
    CD-Audios and videos / DVDs do not work.

    Could you tell me how to solve this problem?

    The solution was to uninstall the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator' and system settings/Programm features.

  • CD/DVD-Rom drive does not not on Equium A100

    I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives. I uninstalled everything to do with the webcam and it still does not work. Can someone help me solve this problem without using the recovery disk of the product came with my laptop?

    I had this problem before, but I didn't the first time, it's the webcam that has caused the problem. It s webcam trust wb - 1400T. I had to use the product recovery disc and he had a lot of hassle to install all my programs again and this time I'm in the middle of exams and can't get it all done in time for my exams, as I have vital work on here I have to do.

    .. .Please help me... I think it is the driver, but I don't know how to fix it.

    Hi mate

    > I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives
    To be honest I have never seen that the webcam may have a negative influence on the internal CD/DVD drive.
    I see really no connection between the webcam and ODD... very strange
    Do you get any error messages?

    Anyway, in my opinion, you should try these solution ideas;

    (1) remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the STRANGE and should re-install the drivers.

    2) access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    .. then restart the laptop.

    (3) download and install the tool freeware "CCleaner". This tool repairs registry and solves several problems in System.

    If this does not work, then the new installation of the OS would be wise to check if the problem could be related to a software problem.

    Best regards

  • DVD - Rom drive does not

    I just had my Dell Inspiron 1318 in the shop for service, and when she came back I had to reinstall a lot of my old software.

    The Sony Optiarc DVD +-RW AD - 7640A DVD - ROM drive in my computer didn't have to be replaced at the shop and worked well for the first hours of operation of the system. I had reinstalled Office ' 03 and Roxio DVD burning software and it would try to install something else when the drive has stopped working.

    I also run updates of the system before you attempt the installation of Office 2003, etcetera.

    When I insert a disc in the drive, it produces noises as if she is trying to run or to read the CD before ejecting again.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, almost completely updated.

    I tried a system restore to the last point of operation disc drive, and then I tried to update my drivers. When he said that I had the more recent/better driver, I uninstalled the device and rebooted. Finally, I tried the Mr. Fix - it on the Microsoft Web site. Nothing has worked.

    Anyone happen to know what is the problem? I need to have this drive works in short order and I really do not have to return the system to the shop for repairs more literally the day after getting it.

  • Pavilion dv7t-2000 dvd/CD drive does not work

    Hello

    I have problems with my CD/DVD drive.

    Recently, I upgrade my Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I noticed that my CD/DVD drive does not work, although I don't know if this is related to the Vista upgrade because I have not used the cd player in a long time. The drive does not read CDs or DVDs that I put in.

    Device Manager indicates there is a problem with the driver for CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. Device Manager displays the following error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    The device is listed as TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M ATA Device. The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is the same as that provided with the laptop when I bought it, which is listed as "LightScribeSuperMulti8XDVD + / RWw/DLayer" on my receipt.

    In the properties of the device, I pressed the 'Update Driver' button, but it says that the driver is already up to date.

    I searched HP's site for an updated CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver, but I couldn't find one. I also ran "HP Health Check", but the program cannot find any problems.

    Thank you for your help.

    The problem has been resolved.
