CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device - error code 10

[Lnegron]

I bought a Toshiba A205 laptop with Vista pre-loaded and everything was fine up until now. My DVD drive is not working now. I went into Control Panel and hit the Device Manager Icon to see if the device is at all is recognized. What I noticed was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside of it. The message stated that "This device can not start - error code 10.

I searched throughout the Internet to find the quick fix,but it seems every commercial website wants to sell you some type of fix em up software

To note, I'm not a windows SA or pretend to be one. Can someone help me understand how to fix this? And where (link) to find the device driver if I have to reload it? BTW - I went to Toshiba's website and I could not find it anywhere.

I'm sure it's a easy fix for you windows gurus.

Your thoughts? Thanks in advance...

Larry

Hello Peter:

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately the link references a 'USB' scenario and the DVD drive I have is an internal DVD drive, which is not a USB connection. The details in the link does reference 'code 10', but specific to a USB connection.

By any chance, is there a reference to the internal device?

Your thoughts? Thanks.

Hello Peter:

Sorry I should have also stated, that I did 'uninstall' the device driver for the internal DVD device, and re-booted my laptop. Unfortunately re-booting Vista and having Vista re-install the device drivers did not fix the problem.

I'm thinking maybe the drive just 'went bad'? I don't know what else to think?

Thanks for your input anyway.

Sounds like it's bad drive. Get it replaced with an internal or maybe get an external USB DVD drive.

Applies to an internal drive also
