Cdrom Drive
Cdrom Drive
My cdrom drive doesn't work and the cpu tells me it cannot start the device. How can I get it to work again?
In the future, when you have a problem like this, please include your your computer's model (example, HP DV6000), version of windows and the EXACT error message you got ... also, if you can add add'l info like what program you were working in, or what was happening when the problem started, or if any changes had been made ... this makes it possible to provide specific answers.
In any case, this seems to be an issue with Windows.
Are you using Vista? Try this:
Open the Device Manager, right-click on each CD or DVD drive
and click "Uninstall". Restart the computer and Windows Vista will
reinstall them properly.
Is this your problem? (XP)
"You can no longer access the CD drive or the DVD drive, or you receive an error message after you remove a CD recording program or a DVD recording program in Windows XP: "error code 31"
If it is, try this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
If this solution does not work as is, do the following:
1. Uninstall any CD burning software you have.
2. Follow the instruction in the above link
3. Reboot
4. Check Device Manager to see if the error has gone away.
In XP, you click Start ->Control Panel->System->Hardware tab -> Device Manager
If the above doesn't work I have also added the step of powering down, physically disconnecting the CD ROM drive and rebooting, then powering down a reconnecting the drives again. This allows Windows to re-enumerate them. You shouldn't have to take your computer apart for this, though, so don't worry about it.
Try also googling your EXACT error message. Someone out there has the same problem and has figured it out. It is NOT because your CDROM isn't getting enough power, that's just silly.
