Hi, I recently tried playing a game on my computer the other day when I realised that it didn't auto load. I went into my computer to load it and found to my horror that my dvd drive was not listed. I then went into device manager HL-DT-ST RW-DVD GCC-4481B had an exclamation mark next to it. I went into the devices properties to find this message:

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

The first thing I thought of was to run sfc /scannow but I couldnt find my XP installation disc. What should I do?

I'm not weird, I'm a limited edition.
