I got the same problem. I've read so many thread before and no one have any answer to that situation.
I'm using Windows Vista and my pc is a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ21E ...
The situation is this one : In first time my CD/DVD writter desapere. I think it's linked to my last utilisation of TuneUp utilities (I tried to change the icon of the dvd writter .. :D). So I directly look to my "gestionnaire des périphériques" (sorry I'm using french version of vista) to see if my device were correctly installed and I saw that it were a yellow /!\ (I don't know the name ..) next to the icon. So I checked the proprity and the driver were not correctly installed : error code 10. So after looking solution on google, I found something who told to install the pilote of windows but I doesn't work. In fact after installation and restarting my pc, the DVD writter weren't able to open any cd .. So I uninstall the driver and I reinstall with the windows assitant for installing driver. But it couldn't intalled correctly the new driver ! (error code : 1).
Vista vista ... : /
Thanks for your help ! and sorry for my english :D Franck-   Guest
Hello olejonok, I ran into this problem while helping a friend with her laptop. Here is the solution:
1) Visit the following webpage: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-download.pl?template=EN&mdl=&upd_id=2031&SMB=YES
2) Download "SOOOTH-01106200-US.EXE" 3) Run the program and follow the instructions, then reboot. There are several registry filters which, when removed and the system rebooted, re-enable your drive. Applies to: DVR-K17 VGN-CR220E PCG-5J2L
