dvd drive disappeared
hi, yesterday i turned on my comp to find my dvd drive was missing, i
rebooted, nothing. looking in dev manager, optiarc DVD RW AD-7530 ATA device, has one of the smal yellow warning icon on it and when dbl clicked says, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)". i have tried updating the drivers, am told the latest drivers are installed. also i don't know if this has anything to do with it, but i can not use system restore, all i get is a msg saying an unknown error stopped sys restore completing its task. any ideas would be most welcome, cheers |

chickieuk,
This problem is likely caused by some Vista incompatibility in your burner program, such as Roxio or Nero. Follow the instructions to fix it contained in the below Microsoft KB article for removing the Upper and Lower Filters in registry which likely are causing the issue. The article is for WinXP, but it also applies to Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;320553 -- -- freddy "chuckieuk" wrote: hi, yesterday i turned on my comp to find my dvd drive was missing, i rebooted, nothing. looking in dev manager, optiarc DVD RW AD-7530 ATA device, has one of the smal yellow warning icon on it and when dbl clicked says, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.

chuckieuk,
In the event that the burner you are using is causing a problem, here are links to three burners that people who have used them say work well with Vista: http://www.imgburn.com/ http://www.deepburner.com/ http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2 I obtained those references from another forum. I've not used any of them. Each one has a free version and a more fully featured pay version. Just for your information and consideration. Some people say that the most recent updates for Roxio and for Nero have fixed some (all?) Vista incompatility issues, but I have no way of knowing. -- freddy "chuckieuk" wrote: hi, yesterday i turned on my comp to find my dvd drive was missing, i rebooted, nothing. looking in dev manager, optiarc DVD RW AD-7530 ATA device, has one of the smal yellow warning icon on it and when dbl clicked says, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.
