Need HELP!! G1 DVD Drive Stopped Working.

I've had the laptop for a couple of weeks and love it. Got on today and the DVD drive is no longer working. I hear it spinning up, but it's not recognize. In the device manager, it says it's not working properly and it could be a missing driver, but I tell it to look for a new driver and it says that the drive is the most current.

I have the DVD-RW with Litescribe and am running Vista Home. I tried disabling the drive and restarting but that didn't work. Only other thing I can think of is removing the driver and putting it back. Only, I don't know how to do that. How do I back up my current driver to use it again, or where might I be able to find the same driver online. Thanks.

 

try rolling back the drivers.
or uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them.
or do a system restore to a date that it still worked.

 

Well, I don't know how to roll back the drivers. I did uninstall the drivers and then windows just reinstalled the hardware itself and it still has the same problem. I did a restore to a few days back and have the same problem. I just booted off of the restore disk I got with the computer so I know the drive is working itself. I just need a little direction with how to uninstall properly or re-apply the drivers again to see if that takes care of it.

 

Found the rollback option in the control panel, but it's tipled out

 

try more than one roll back date
