I have a problem here that i have not been able to find an answer to but, in short, my computer can no longer find my CD/DVD drive, or as it once was, D drive. When i insert a CD/DVD and try to play it nothing happens. I have tried to set the comp to boot to the CD/DVD drive under boot options but, still nothing. I ran the Toshiba assistance application which checks all the main hardware for basic issues and in conclusion I learned that
my system does not recognize the DVD drive
note: when i open the application "toshiba DVD ram utility" there is an error that says- "the drive is not recognized. It may be in use by another program or it is not connected correctly."
If you go to "computer" in the main pane area where it lists all the hard disk drives there is nothing there.......unless i am using a drive E: or F: say for example; my pen drive.......then it will occupy the space that is suppose to always be used for my CD/DVD or D: drive. This problem has been recorded in event viewer and i included it with this post. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem?............. becaues my work requires me to use my DVD drive!

I too have been having the same issue lately, but I am not sure as to when
the problem originated. I tried to run a CD in an LG DVD Rewriter only to
find that it wouldn't play the disk. Looking under the device manager tab,
I get the message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I have tried
uninstalling and reinstalling drivers (from windows and the manufacturer)
with no luck. When I run the LG diagnostic utility, it tells me that it
cannot find the device. I also do not show any other drives than my hard
drive. I have tried swapping DVD roms, IDE cables and changing slave/master
with a generic CD-ROM(which also doesn't work).

I tried to download the "Microsoft - Other hardware - HID Non-User Input
Data Filter" update and I received the "Code 80070103" error message.

Thanks in advance to any help with this.

Update: After browsing through many other posts, I stumbled across this
article

which in turn linked me to

according to the support article, my drives are fixed. Hope the same goes
for you technow09.
