Optical drives never require a driver when used in any Windows os from 95 up. Support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk is included native with the os. Support for playing dvd disks comes from compatible dvd decoding software.

Code 39 on my Dell 1100. Tried to uninstall and install, update driver, etc. Nothing seems to work regarding this DVD-CD. I also cannot boot from CD-ROM, only HD. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

It contains instructions on the delete the upper and lower filters fix

Also, there is a STICKY posted in this forum that contains a file from Microsoft and instructions that will do this registry edit automatically instead of having to do it manually.


And here's another method that will do this automatically for you if you're afraid to edit the registry manually.

(automatic fix, post #7, download file: CdGone.zip)

After performing this registry fix, just reboot the pc. Now your drive should be visible in My Computer and work properly.
