Vista - DVD CD Device

Recently I lost the ability to use my dvd cd device. Upon booting the system
will read (green light flash) but then nothing would register. . . I am
getting a Code 39 message which reads , "windows cannot load the device
driver for this hardware. The device may be corrupted or missing". Although
the D:/ drive is shown and it claims that the most current updates are
applied, I am still unable to use my device. I have attempted to uninstall
and reinstall without success, because of this problem my livlihood is
tremendously affected. Any advice in resolving this conflice is appreciated.

Re: Asus drw-2014l1t DVD not working


Hi jtracey!

im new to this forum....so hi to all of u guys....


i had this problem some time ago with my notebook. i managed to fix it with a small Registry patch. ill include the steps below...


1. go to Device manager by typing "devmgmt.msc" in the RUN command (WinKey+R) or by typing at the quick search in the start menu.

2. right click on the dvdrw device and select uninstall.

3. after it has uninstalled run the patch and click ok when it asks to add information to the registry

4. now go to the device manager and click "scan for hardware changes"

5. the OS should find the dvdrw as a new device and install successfully.


tell me either it works or not.... hope this can help ur problem...
