Vista - tsst corp cd/dvdw ts-l632d ata device

Help!! My device driver for my cd/dvd-rom has stopped working. When I go to device manager, there is a yellow exclamation point next to it. It was working perfectly fine a week ago. I have checked for solutions and possible driver updates to no avail. If someone could tell me what I can do to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure that it is in a simple, step-by-step format. I'm still learning about computers. Thanks.

Hi KendaraKatze,
Have you tried the following:
Go to Device Manager and right click on the CD/DVD-Rom drive and choose "uninstall" then restart the computer and Windows should reinstall it for you. Hopefully with the error gone.

I'm currently experiencing the same problem. I'm on an Inspiron E1505 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit installed. I did what Raj said about uninstalling the driver (the one with the yellow ! by it), and then restarted my computer. However, upon the computer restarting, it attempted to reinstall the driver but instead I got a "Device driver software was not successfully installed." (For the record, the driver I need is TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632D ATA Device.)

I've tried installing drivers for it by other means, too, but whenever I run the .exe program, it says "Drivers not found!!" or something to that effect.

Any other advice?

You can download the drivers for your drive from here:

Drivers and Downloads

OR

Download & run merge the following file to the registry. Make sure that you save the file on the desktop & then merge it.

Holy crap, it actually worked! The second one, that is. (The driver that you gave me was doing the same thing as before -- only popping up with a "Drive not found!!" message and then not doing anything.) But the file I merged actually worked! Wow!

Thank you so much! You just saved me a lot of hassle! ♥

You are welcome. And we are here to help you.

I'm having the same problems on a toshiba a200 1da with the drive mentioned. the uninstall and restart didn't work, and nor did the driver from the tsst website. i haven't a clue what to do, and I may have to resort to paying to get it fixed. any other ideas

Did u run the cdgone.reg file & then see if the issue was there or not. If still the issue persists then try booting through the windows vista dvd. And we can check if the hardware is functional or not.

tanuj_chadha, thank you so much!
I was having the same problem but it works now! (thanks to the cdgone.reg)
I'm starting to hate toshiba though.. I'm having a lot of problems with this laptop!

That is a common problem with Toshiba laptops... I dunno why they are so buggy.
