CD/DVD Drive
Hi..
I've been having trouble with my CD/DVD, I can't get it to work.. I've tried to add and remove the hardware and eject or unplug it but it won't let me. It comes up with this: 'This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)' I'm not much of a computer genius, what does this mean? My friend said my hardrive is probably broken.. is this true? Thanks in advance. |

well if your hard drive was broken your computer wouldnt even boot up. But the CD/DVD might be busted. Is it a new one that you have just installed? or one that has been in there a while? Is it a custom machine, or a pre-build (dell, hp, whatnot)? Do you know the brand of drive it is?

Which drive? My CD drive is phillips, i don't know the hard drive make. My pc was custom built but the guy who made it moved away so can't even ask him. Is there maybe a problem with my windows 2k?

well it sounds to me like either your cd-drive has gone bad, or the driver has accidently been deleted. Is this the drive you have?

hmmm this might or might not work...
http://www.support.philips.com/suppo...dex_us_en.html there is a link off to the right, says "detect the cd/dvd drive in my PC" click that and follow the instructions. Hopefully it will tell you which drive you have, and if it works the way i hope it works, it should let you download any files you need for it. But if nothing else it should hopefully tell us the exact model. |

No, that hasn't worked. I downloaded phillips intelligent agent but it only sent me updates. I went to the FAQs on the site and it told me to do something with my nero but it wouldn't detect my CD drive.
Is there any other way i could install the driver, or am i gonna have to admit defeat and get it repaired? |
