-   Thanks for comment by chandra_anc, posted on Feb 05, 2008. There's a possibility that my problem is of "corrupt driver". Now, how can I reformat or reinstall my system if my optical drive is not working properly? The same situation appears even I replaced the ODD with the good one. Is there any other way that my system disc can be read with other device? Still, thank you so much for your effort & support to my problem.-   Guest

-   No detection problem in BIOS Utility SET UP & during booting. But there is no CD ROM drive on My Computer. I've done many ways like Device Manager, REGEDIT, System Restore & Driver Update. In Device Manager, there is CD ROM entry with exclamation ( ! ) mark. When I update the driver..."Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)". In REGEDIT, when I click the {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} the upper/lower filters didn't appear. System Restore has "no improvements" as well. And it's very difficult to find "Driver Update" support from the manufacturer. I wish someone can provide info to solve my problem. And who knows, may be I can return back something to him/her like a simple "Thank You so much".

Is the LED of your CD ROM blinking? If yes then go to device manager by right clicking the My Computer icon and then click the Properties command. In the Properties window select the Hardware tab and then click the device manager. Is the CD ROM entery there! yes> right click and enable the device. If no then reformat your hard disc and reinstall.
In case your CD ROM's LED is not blinking (Rarest case) then simply check all the cables connected to it, atleast the power cable. if it is still not working, your CD ROM got damaged and there is a time to change it.

- The only problem here is of corrupt Driver. It might have gone out of Order by its own or due to some Viruses. The best possible option in less time is that reformat and reinstall your system. Of course, you must take backup your Data on a Flash/Pen Drive before you do so.
