You first remove that device from device manager.
Then restart the pc.
You may check the BIOS menu for that device for any clarification.
After restart since u have removed it the OS will detect the device and install it automatically.
Hope this helped.

Go to device manager under Contol panel > System browse to go at DVD/CD rom device, right click then select properties. Then click on DVD Region then select your country then hit OK.

Or just toggle it to get the right setting.

remove it and and put it back again and set bios to default settings

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

I have the same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I have an HP Notebook dv6700 with a Pioneer DVDRW [DVR-K17B ATA Device]. For the past few months I haven't been able to burn anything to disc. I can't find any firmware updates online. I'm not sure if I need to buy a new drive?

Thank you in advance for any feedback.

This is my error in report viewer for my dvdrw in laptop.
dvdrw icon is hide and it can't read any disk dvd/cd.
PLEASE HELP ME! THANKFUL
" Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 39. "

Go to device manager and then right click on properties, and then there should be a seciton on region code.

BTW< how the hell do i get rid of the underline?
