Microsoft Troubleshooting Wizard To reinstall your device (The
following instructions were given after hitting Troubleshooting button --- all Italic texts are my comments):
1.. Close any open programs and open Device Manager.
2.. Choose to Uninstall the troubled device.
3.. Start the Add Hardware Wizard.
4.. Click Next, and wait for Windows to search for Plug and Play devices. Most new devices are Plug and Play, so you rarely need
to go beyond this step.
5.. Choose Yes, I have already connected the hardware. > Next.
6.. If no Plug and Play devices are found, a list of devices appears. Click Add a new hardware device, and then click Next.
(Even though my 56X CD-ROM were given there).
7.. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, and then click Next.
8.. Choose Show All Devices.
9.. In the Common hardware types list, click the appropriate device category, and then click Next. (No CD-ROM drive category
given because the PC knew I already installed one).
10.. In the Manufacturers list, click the manufacturer of your device; in the Models list, click the model name. (It is NOT
there or NOT in the given choices).
Or, click Have Disk if you have an updated or manufacturer-supplied driver to install for your device.
(Uh? MY CD drive is still NOT working, how can it read my CD? I stop here
because PC NOT showing CDROM drive and yet the CD has no working
driver in it, I actually did tried and struggled to fix it. It always says: The
specified location does not contain information about your hardware).
11. Click Next, and then follow the wizard's instructions to complete the
installation. (not possible and no use to go on).
12. Actually the driver is from Microsoft: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\cdrom.sys
13. I manually copy a new file for cdrom.sys thinking it were corrupted -- nope,
the CD-ROM drive still not working.
My CD-ROM drive is still not showing in My Computer Windows or in Windows Explorer windows and still not working.
Please help me,
