Can't get CD/DVD drive to work in Vista
For months the DVD burner in my system was working fine, but in the last
few days it stopped working. Vista detects it and loaded the device drivers, but it does not initialize the hardware properly. (I always get error "code 37".) Note that the system does detect that the DVD drive is there, and the driver does get the model number from the drive. Just to make sure there wasn't an issue with the hardware, I tried swapping the DVD drive with a new one, but I get the same problem. Any suggestions? |

Can't get CD/DVD drive to work in Vista
I did not install any CD/DVD recording software. (I was just using the
CD/DVD burning that comes with Vista.) I did try to follow the steps in that article, but the reg keys mentioned are not in my registry. Note, I have tried going into the device manager, uninstalling the CD/DVD device, and reinstalling (scan hardare), but I get the same problem ever time. Any other suggestions?

Can't get CD/DVD drive to work in Vista
I don't have any virtual drives installed. I have 6 SCSI hard drives, a
ZIP drive, and a card reader, that's it. No DVD burning software installed. (just using the built in stuff that comes with Vista) No system tools software installed. I have tried to think of anything I installed that could have any impact on a CD/DVD drive, but there isn't anything installed but some basic applications (Office, some media players, etc) and utils (brosers, IM software, stuff like that). bp wrote: On Tue, 13 Feb 2007 12:13:02 -0500, "Michael Price" wrote: I had similar problems until I uninstalled Daemon Tools I would think other virtual drives may also cause problems Try the steps in this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us "dot" "mediawizrd (at) hotmail (dot) com" wrote in message ...

ZIP Drive My system worked fine for months with the Iomega ZIP drive installed. No problems with the CD/DVD drive before. But just to make sure, I tried disconnecting it. No change. That's not it.
