CD Drive Problem

[ddka]

My CD Drive will no longer work, I get the yellow exclamation in device manager & this error: "windows cannot load the device drivers for this hardware. the driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)"

I uninstalled the device reboot & windows will find and load the driver and then it says they may be a problem with the hardware ?? and I still have the "windows cannot load the device drivers for this hardware. the driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)" error.

What else should I try? The Drive worked fine before (the drive is an NEC 1300A)

TIA for the help

I don't know enough about this specific issue to help you, but you may be able to find the solution by doing a Google search. I did just that and took a quick look, and it seems to me some people solved that problem by deleting several items in the registry.

The problem is probably with the drivers. Along with a google search, I would go to NEC's website and try and download the drivers and that may work.

Well it looks like the drive is dead, I replaced with another & it works. Thanks for the help
