CD Drive just doesn't want to work...

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hello, yesterday i made a few cd's (about 4 or 5) and the next morning i went
to turn on my computer. Once turned on i opened up "my computer" folder on
the desktop and to my surprise i couldn't find a D drive (cd rom drive) I
have the liteon LTR-52327S

In device manager it shows up with a yellow (!) and in properties under
device status it says:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."

Now i've tried uninstalling it and autodetecting it through device manager
and that didn't work, i then tried to physically uninstall it and that still
didn't work. I also searched for drivers but they all say that it runs on the
standard windows drivers.

I'm completely stuck, i dont know what else to do...any help?

Go back to your device manager and uninstall your cd rom
again.Go down to your IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and
uninstall your IDE channel that's connected to your cd rom
drive. You can uninstall both if you're not sure wich one
it is. Do not press the autodetect button, but restart
your computer. Don't worry, your windows OS will detect
the devices again and install the right driver for it.

that message i previously stated and it isn't showing up in My Computer. Any

"CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive appears to be missing after you install
Windows XP"

The bad registry keys that cause the problem can be produced in other ways
than by performing an XP upgrade installation.

If you don't wish to edit the Registry by hand, there are automated ways:

Good luck.
