| | Non functioning DVD-RW under Vista Home Basic 64 I'm working on a system using this drive, Lite-On DH 20A 4P 04. The drive had been working well until about a month ago. The owner reported that the drive suddenly didn't work. In Device Manager the drive is shown with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark in it. In Properties is the following message, "Windows cannot load the device drivers for this hardware. The driver maybe corrupted or missing." The OS is Windows Vista Home Basic 64. I've tried different drives and got the same message. I've switched ribbon cables. Same message. I've tried System Restore with no success. When I place the Vista Disk in the drive and boot from the drive, it loads Windows. Are you aware of any drivers or updates or solutions to correct this problem? Thank You. |

If you are booted into Vista, you're not booting from the DVD. The boot is failing from DVD and is being passed to the hard disk. Try replacing that drive, or pop it into another system and see if it works there. If it doesn't, replace it. Where I am, DVD/RW drives are around $30. It's not worth spending a lot of time on this.

Referring to your last sentence, if that's the case, you probably have the boot order in the BIOS set to have the hard drive boot before the CD/DVD drive. If I'm wrong about that, either the drive has a problem or your Vista DVD does. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
