Code 19 CD/DVD drive problem.

My CD/DVD drive is not recognized.  I go into the Device Manager and it says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

I tried to uninstall then restart and reinstall as troubleshooting says and I still have this problem.

I tried "Mr. Fix it" and tells me that it cannot solve the problem.

I tried to go through the steps of using regedit and there are no "less" filter to remove, only a "superior" filter  When I look for what to do if there is no lower filters to delete, there is no help in finding.

I checked my driver, that is until this day of nto.

I tried a system restore. Did not work.

I am at my wits end and any advice would be very welcome.  It seems at this point, I need to reinstall windows xp, but I have no idea how to do it even without a working cd player.

My OS is Windows XP pro with service pack 3, and is my reader of cd/dvd LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-5236V.

Thanks for any help.

Hello

In this case, try to remove the filters in your registry of the computer from the CD/DVD drive to get rid of the error CODE. Please see the link below:

  • Error code 19 - CD/DVD-ROM problem. Please help and read the description first!

    I tried to load my games such as rollercoaster tycoon on my computer by inserting them into the disc drive. Nothing happens. I went to toautoplay and it had all the right settings I wanted. I changed several times and tried to re - insert the disc, but nothing has happened yet. I thought it was a problem of CD/DVD drive, so I went to 'Computer', right-click on Vista64 (C :) and selected 'properties'.) I clicked on the Hardware tab, and then on HL - DT - ST DVDRAM GS20N, my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. I realized quickly that there was a problem, because the box said"device status: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.» (Code 19) «. I looked at the code 19 on the support Web page and found a link to a Microsoft Fixit, Windows Powershell 1.0. I installed the program, he ran through and he said that he had fixed the problem. I inserted the game once more, but still nothing happens. I went to my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive once more and he said that the problem was not resolved. I don't know how to solve this problem. Help, please! (It is not just the CD I try to insert, because none of the many CD I tried to use will work). Should I try to restart my computer?

  • Code 19 No. DVD Drive... what happened?

    With the help of Windows7. "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    That's happened since I turned the pc off and turned it back? I can hear the DVD player running, however, the CD player shows, with a yellow triangle, on the Hardware tab, but it does not appear on the "computer" tab How to fix? It worked fine one day and does not work the other... very frustrated!

    Hello

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
    them before.

  • Code 39 CD/DVD drive not detected

    Hi, I had to reinstall Vista because my files were corrupted by using Microsoft e-mail support.  I tried to install Windows service pack 2, but it would not be installed. After repair corrupt Vista files and finally get service Pack2 installed, I have had to reinstall a software disc that came with my computer Dell. The cd/dvd drive makes noise but does not read the disc. I logged on the Dell support site and follow their recommendations without success. I have downloaded the recommended bios and firmware dvd, uninstalled Roxio Creator and dvd driver but the system goes on to say that the drive is not detected. Finally, I called Dell and, of course, only the equipment is under warranty and I can't afford to pay for the software support. My computer is 8 months old and I rarely use the dvd player. It worked fine before these repairs and upgrades. My system is Vista 64-bit with service pack 2. According to Device Manager, my dvd player is number model PLDS DVD +-RW DS - 8A3S. BTW, as part of my purchase last summer that I was sent disk to upgrade to Windows 7 for free. I didn't want to hassle with installation at the time, but after pass by all this... should I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7 after I receive my dvd player work?

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
    both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
    power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or
    even if there is 'old', you can reinstall. However, many use the default Windows drivers
    Some will be more special. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Satellite 2430 DVD drive problem

    Hello
    My Satellite 2430 has had a strange DVD problem and may not know what is all about. All started when I tried to make a full recovery. The unit was not able to boot from the DVD. I checked the DVD player with different bootable disk, but still nothing. Unit won't boot from DVD drive even if you press F12 and peripheral DVD selected. Not to mention that the recovery DVDs is loaded normally in my desktop pc. Notepad starts Windows OK the HARD disk and, which is incredible, is that, inside Windows, everything is OK. The DVD player works like a dream. However, it is not enough to perform a full restore, as the recovery process cannot be initialized by Windows. A leap that the BIOS is at the origin of the problem, I've upgraded to version 1.6, but there is no change in the behavior of the DVD.
    Any thoughts, before using a big-big hammer?

    Hello

    Have you tried to change the boot priority in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then first change the startup procedure to the CD player. The local network must be on the end.

Installer wants to give me a file location.

    I don't know what driver is needed. I downloaded files related to my Optirac drive but they are all exe and it does not accept the installation program. Could someone help me?
