The device cannot start

[Guest]

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

I do not know what happened to my CD-Writer-DVD-Combo. The device
manager is showing the (! black sign inside the yellow round.
Its properties show that the device cannot start (Code10).

Tried to see that connections inside but all seems ok. Even replaced the
cod connecting the writer to the motherboard but with no luck.
I am desperate to see that device working.

I shall remain grateful for a solution/guidance.

igno, when you were in Device Manager did you rt click on your cd-dvd
drive and select Properties. In Device Status and
Device Usuage make sure it set to enabled and try using the
troubleshooter. It may be that you have a failed drive.
And give Doug Knox's Fix a try

Mr. Rich Barry,

Thanks for your response. At that point of time the device manager
showed "use the device enabled". Troubleshoot did not bring any luck.

I tried the fix of Doug Knox through the link that you sent. Now the
yellow in the device manager has vanished and the properties of the
device shows that "This device is working properly."

When I try to use this device I get the following error I:\CEDA is not
accessible, The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable (I is the
drive in my PC under question). Troubleshoot did not help.

Any further guidance please.

Mr. Rich Barry,
After posting my reply to you on the board, I am sorry to say that I am
back to square one after reboot. The device manager shows again the
yellow mark against the CD writer DVD combo.

Well, my next step would be to try the drive in another computer.
Hopefully a friend will let you connect it and see if it works or not.

I ultimately had to replace the CD writer as the old one (1 1/2 year) a
combo was not working. Thanks Mr. Rich Barry. You were right.
Thanks again for the help.
