Aspire 5100 Notebook dvd/cd-rw drive not working

Dear Acer people

I have an acer aspire 5100, it has a dvd & cd burner built in. Just recently i tryed using it, and when i put in a disc, it spins and then stops with no lights blinking, when i press it , the device ejects the disc.

When i go into DEVICE MANAGER i click on the drive , which is a
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T10N ATA DEVICE
the status says "windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing ( CODE 39)

Click "check solutions" to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution avalible"

i do , and nothing happens , i try to update the driver through the computer, but it says the best driver is already on. i looked on the acer website for a driver but for my computer there is no driver avalible?

Does anyone have any suggestions or ran into this problem also? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody

 

I have the same computer, but I haven't had this problem.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device in the device manager?

My DVD drive is a MatshitaUJ-85OS.

Rt click to uninstall from the drop-down

If windows doesn't do it for you, you can use 'add hardware' from the control panel to re-install. That's as far as my knowedge goes so I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

 

Try to remove that device and then search for nw hardware.

 

thanks yall, but none of those answers worked, but i did find another thread that helped me out, if anyone has the same problem, you can change the registry, from this
