[06:21] <+LamontCranston> hey ozone my rom drive isn't showing up in my computer - not listed in my computer, powerdvd says no disc in drive, power2go says no drive detected, and device manager says: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
[06:21] <+LamontCranston> halp
[06:21] <+LamontCranston> I checked inside the case, cables are all connected and theres still power because I can open and close the tray
[06:22] <@Ozone> hmmm, that's odd
[06:22] <@Ozone> if there's definitely a disc in the drive, all i can suggest is to try rebooting
[06:22] <@Ozone> has it done this before?
[06:23] <+LamontCranston> started this evening, whether it was when I first turned on or later I cant remember
[06:23] <@Ozone> annoying and strange
[06:24] <+LamontCranston> hadn't noticed it until I tried to burn a disc
[06:24] <+LamontCranston> then I started checking - rather startiling to notice a drives icon is missing from my computer
[06:24] <@Ozone> yes, i can't say that's ever happened to me

[06:27] <+LamontCranston> Recommended resolution
[06:27] <+LamontCranston> Reinstall the drivers for this device.
[06:27] <+LamontCranston> thats kinda tricky when they're on a cd and I cant use the cd rom
[06:27] <@Ozone> lol
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> Uninstall and reinstall the driver
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> Uninstall the driver from Device Manager, and then scan for new hardware to install the driver again.
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> You may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the last time that you set up the device. However, sometimes, it will open the New Hardware Wizard which may ask for the driver. If you are asked for the driver and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from the hardware vendor’s Web site.
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> On the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Uninstall. Follow the instructions.
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> Restart your computer.
[06:28] <+LamontCranston> Open Device Manager, click Action, and then click Scan for hardware changes. Follow the instructions.
[06:29] <+LamontCranston> After you remove a CD or DVD burning program from your computer, the CD drive or the DVD drive no longer appears in the My Computer window. You might also receive an error message when you try to access the drive.
[06:29] <+LamontCranston> This problem is caused by two Windows registry entries that have become corrupted.
