Hi:
Can someone please offer me some assistance. I have been running Windows
Vista Business on my PC since March and a new problem just occurred. Both of
my optical drives (a Sony CDRW and an LG DVDRW) have suddenly and without
warning stopped working in Windows. The windows device manager shows both
drives but in the properties window it indicates that even though the drivers
are installed the devices have failed to start. I have uninstalled and
reinstalle the device drivers several times and attempted to upgrade the
device drivers and nothing seems to help. Using a non windows diagnostic
tool I am able to read and write to both optical drives but windows vista
cannot. I have tried clean boot and safe boot and still neither drive works.
I have restore windows to a previous iteration from a date that I know I
successfully used the cdr to install an application and still no joy. Does
anyone have any idea how to get this fixed without reinstalling windows and
all of my applications? Help!
