I have a Sony dru530a DVD-R drive and it use to work almost fine. Now, the
drive is not showing up in My Computer. Instead, I get a drive listed in
"Other" section with an icon of a disk drive and a red questino mark. When I
click it, it says "L:\referes to a location that is unavailable..... " The
Sony drive shows up in the device manager, but ther is a yellow exclamation
mark over it and it has a funny name Sony ( (D^D(R_LR]-=38a(. When I go to
properties, I get in devise status "This device cannot start. (Code 10)."

How could I correct code 10 error?

Restore Missing CD Drive

[[The popular CDGONE patch. CD drives may vanish in Windows Explorer, Device
Manager, etc. if a third-party CD-burning package has been uninstalled and
Registry references for some code modules aren’t removed successfully. This
patch and a reboot usually will restore the missing drives. Any third
party package still required will then have to be re-installed. ]]

Thanx for the help. None of these patches worked. I also tried the registry
edit liste on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553/EN-US/ and tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from device manager and this doesnt
help. The device gets installed again with the yellow "!" still over the
drive in device manager...

Do you have the latest drivers? Could there be something physically wrong
with the drive?

Would it be possible to stick the drive in another machine to see if it
works there?

It uses XP drivers (they dont have their own) and I haved SP2, so I am
updated. The drive works in other machines and works prior to windows
starting up (meaning I can boot from the drive).
