My CD-Rom does not work, I get the message that my CD-Rom driver is corrupted. How do I restore it? I can not reinstall it from a CD because the system does not recognize the CD Rom. Pls help!
To solve this follow these instructions:
NOTE: After removing these registry keys and rebooting, it may be necessary to reinstall any CD or DVD recording application
1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders
4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.
5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
7)uninstall the drivers for cd drive and dvd drive from device manager and then
7) Reboot your computer
8) Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation on the CD or DVD drive is gone.
Go to the CD drive manufacturers website. Download the latest driver for you model # from the support section. After downloading install. Hopefully that will fix your problem. Please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.
