CD Drive not working, Life or Death Situation.
First, go into bios to see if the cdrom is recoginized
there. If it is, then try going into device manager and right click on the cdrom drive and uninstall it, then reboot. Windows should reinstall it for you. If it isnt recoginized in bios, the turn your comp off & try unplugging & replugging the ide cable (both ends) that connects to the cdrom drive (the wide, flat cable). -----Original Message----- I recently noticed that my cd drive was not listed under "My Computer" anymore, so I put a CD in and found out that it no longer reads cd's! I must have accidentally deleted a .dll file or something that ran the CD player. I tried to fix it by going to the "Add New Hardware Menu," but it said that a file was missing or damaged, then when I tried it again it said "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)." I might need to download a missing file or something. I would even re-install windows to fix the problem, but I can't, because I can't read the System Restore disks in my CD drive anymore! Will someone please help me get my CD drive working again? . |
