DRIVER NEEDED: IBM HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4242N (Windows XP Professional) [IDE]

[DrvSrch]

Hi, the above device belongs to an IBM T42 laptop. The information below describes the manufacturer as "Standard CD ROM drives".

B.H.A. Corporation is listed as the driver provider but their web-site gives no help.

My search also makes reference to Goldstar which also doesn't help much.

Thanks very much !

Optical drives never require a driver when used in Windows XP. The os provides native support that allows this drive to read a data or music disk and to burn a cd-r disk. Please state what the problem is and include basic details.

Hi, my file manager can't see my cdrom/dvd.

When I look at the properties in the device manager, I get: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)".

I have tried uninstalling the device - didn't help.

Thanks

Simple solution:

Situation
There is a yellow exclamation mark for CD/DVD drives in Device Manager. The device status in the properties of the driver might indicate an error code, for example 32, 37, or 39.

Solution

To solve the issue, you have to edit the Windows Registry:
Click Start, then Run, type REGEDT32 and click OK.
Locate and then remove the following registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}LowerFilters

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlCl ***{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}UpperFilters



Close Registry Editor.
Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

Note: Some programs are unable to detect the CD/DVD drive after these steps. To solve this, simply re-install the program in question, eg: usually your recording software. Also, in few instances the order in which the programs are (re-)installed can make a difference.

And here's another mothod that will do this automatically for you if your afraid to edit the registry manually. (previously posted for members to read)
