[help] Problem With Cdrom Drive

I got a problem with my DVDROM drive, the drive's gone from "My Computer", there are just my HDs and floppy disk, no DVD/CDRW anymore. So I decide going to control panel, system to see what's going on. I open up Device manager and in my CDROM properties, it says :"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" I try updating my CDROM driver but it doesn't work, it says that my current driver is the latest

So what should I do to get back my DVDROM and my CDRW (both of them have gone with the same problem)

:cry: :cry:

Try to boot up your system in SAFE mode,

enter in Device Manager and delete the CD&DVD drivers.

Reboot the computer and let Windows fix it.

After that run this restore in the registry:

maybe try uninstalling the dvd driver completely, reboot, then let it recognize and reinstall itself again
