Default CD-Rom Drive Missing from My Computer


The CD Rom drive passed out of existence from My Computer, with Vista
Home Premium 32-Bit operating system installed in a emachines desktop
PC.
The error code is: This device cannot start. (Code 10).
The driver version is: 6.0.6001.18000
I do not know what caused this problem.
Does anyone know how to restore the CD Rom drive?

I have the same problem in Vista X32 the DVD-Rom disappears and or will not
respond when a disc is in the drive; formatting and reinstalling the OS does
not solve the problem.
Unfortunately the fix that Rick Rogers listed DOES NOT WORK or FIX the
PROBLEM.
What I believe to be the problem is a conflict in the "storage controller
drivers"; in the device manager I have 2 listed "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID
Controller and Microsoft iSCSI Initiator".

Anyone have any ideas how to fix or disable MS initiator driver please share
your experience.

Sincerely,

I am having a similar problem.My dvd rom works for a few minutes and then
quits. I've tried everything listed in discussion groups that I can find.
Although I have a Gateway ML6703 notebook and not an emachine, I found a
temporary fix. It might work permanently for you. I have something called
Gateway Recovery Center listed in my programs, you might have something
similar. That gives me a listing of Recovery, Programs, Hardware, &
Applications for Drivers External Media. I clicked Hardware and under that
was Device Driver Recovery. Under that was a list of the Drivers Installed
in my computer. I didn't see what I was looking for but there was one that
said OTHERS with a ? next to it so I clicked it and it said TI Flash Media
Reader 2.0.0.6 WHQL 12-17-06. Well what the heck, I clicked install and what
do you know, the dvd worked and was listed in COMPUTER again...only 10
minutes later it vanished once again. Like I said, this was temporary for me
but maybe it would work for you because now I am getting error messages
telling me that this Texas Instruments Media reader is having compatibility
issues with my Mass Storage Controller so I am back once again to square one.

Thank you for responding... I do not have any conflicts in the device
manager, the OS is from my MSDN account, I use a desktop I built.
