  1. My CD/DVD drive doesn't appear in the Device Manager


    Hello there, I Have a problem. Three days ago I inserted an DVD on my laptop. He didn't appear in File Explorer, so, I uninstalled the driver. The Driver name is MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8E1. I restarted my PC after uninstall, to reinstall the Driver. But, unfortunately, he doesn't appear in the Device Manager, and now, I can't open CD'S or DVD's forever because the drive is missing. I checked also with the "Show Hidden Devices" and it doesn't appear. What can I do?

    :)

    Windows 7 Professional keeps dropping the DVD/CD drive

    Working with a fresh install (2nd attempt) of Windows 7 Professional on new hardware. The motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. Running 4G of RAM and an Intel Q9400 Quad Core CPU. The DVD/CD optical drive is a Pioneer DVR-218L.

    Here's the problem - after two fresh installs, Windows 7 drops the DVD/CD drive and I get the following error in Device Manager (The device cannot start {code 10}). After the install, the drive works for a period of time, then stops working and I get the error code.

    The driver appears to be a standard Windows driver (CD-ROM driver).

    I've tried uninstalling the drive and re-installing it in Device Manager but it does not work - I continue to get the device error.

    I've also swapped out the DVD/CD drive to insure it's not a bad unit. Same problem with both drives.

    What do you suggest for next steps?? Could it be an issue with the motherboard?? A driver problem?

    I visited the Pioneer web site - could not find any help or additional Windows 7 drivers.

    What now??

    Hi, try this free tool - note it has a very cautious approach with several steps before attempting a repair. Easy to find.
