Problem with Pioneer DVDRW DR-KDO8HB ATA Device

If your not a PC guru then try removing DVD from device manager and reboot
if your a geek try editing your registry and remove the upper and lower filters from this HIVE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

I found it

To me that sounds like something got corrupted with Windows, if you have a restore CD, or know how to reinstall your OS I would recommend that, AFTER you back up your files though as you will lose anything you had saved on there. But that could fix it, or it could be the drive is bad also.

I'm guessing you may have locked the DVD region. If you right-click on the device in Device Manager and click the Region tab, does it say 0 changes available? Acer won't fix this, and claim you have to replace the drive. Can't find a firmware flash for this drive online, will post back here if successful!

have you had any virus infections? I would download malware bytes and rootkit revealer to see if you have any viruses or rootkits you should email me at [email protected]
and you might have a rootkit that is causing issues with the dvd read/write. otherwise a failing device.
you could also burn puppylinux on a cd, run it and see if you can pop in a dvd and see if it reads the media. if so you are looking at a windows software file or virus issue.

ok mate ur gonna need to get it serviced just bring it to the shop ya got it from and they shud do it for ya hope it helps .

I had the same problem. Go to the link below and follow the directions. Don't worry if you don't have a lower limit directory. I didn't and it still worked. Before restarting go to the device manager and uninstall the driver. I have a similar computer to yours and when I restarted it automatically reinstalled the driver.

you may need to clean the lens of drive with a wet tissu paper, otherwise the drive might gone out of order, need replacement.
