DVD Drive 'Dissapeared'

[alexma]

Hello everyone! Boy am I having probs with my new build (See prev. post!!) My Sata DVD drive was working ok until today, when I decided to make a RAID floppy, I put in the Driver disc & it did not autoplay, so I went to computer & it is not listed anymore. I checked cables etc, went into BIOS & it was there, rebooted but still no luck. Dev.Mngr showed a yellow warning so I reinstalled drivers but windows said they were ok, but then said code 39, windows cannot load drivers for this device. Please help!!

Try one of these:
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
or...
2. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on downloaded file, and allow registry merge.
or...
3. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstal. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
