Can't find DVD drive in Windows Explorer after Driver Reinstallation
Greetings,
I can't find the DVD drive for my Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q705 Gaming Laptop. In the General tab of the (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50F) property window, the following status was shown:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
I removed and reinstalled the driver for the DVD drive, but the same problem reappears. I gone through the procedure to remove the upper and lower filters in the registry (Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs). I have done everything in that link with no change in the problem. The DVD drive is a Hitachi HTS723232L9A360. I went to the Hitachi website, with no results.
I am cash strapped, so I can't afford to use application like "driver doctor" (that scan your pc for problems, then claim to repair the problem for a fee). I consider that a form of deception to download their application. Would like to know where I can find the link for the DVD drive listed above in this post.
Thanks in advance.
