Need driver for my CD

[Loosecanon]

I upgraded to W7 from Vista, and after that my Acer PC does not recognize any CD Rom. It is not shown in the Windows Explorer. Messages I get indicates lack of an appropriate driver. With Vista it worked OK.
Anybody know where I can find a driver?
Thanks.

Welcome to Seven Forums Loosecanon

If you could give me more details about the driver in question, I would be more than happy to help you.

Assuming it's an Acer desktop, what is the model?

Is it either an AcerPower, Aspire, easyStore, Extensa, or Veriton (Product Line)?
and I need the Product Model (example Aspire 6600).

Ohh ok now that's a little better, i actually logged off, but returned so i may help you before i go.
Can you please reconfirm the model again? 5800T?
Are you sure because there's no such model, only model I found closest is a 5810T.

Acer Aspire Notebook 5810T?

Also, can you fill in your system specs as much as possible, it helps more than you can imagine.
You're running Windows 7 x32bit? what edition? home basic/home premium/professional/or ultimate?

There are NO 3rd party drivers for CD or DVD drives (of any type) in Windows. Just the Default Built in Microsoft drivers.

Check the Device Manager and see what error message it has showing (if it is showing an error). If there is no error shown, Right click on the entry for the drive then Left click on Uninstall. Restart the PC and when Windows starts it should detect and reinstall the drive. This fixes a lot of flakey problems and MAY take care of yours.

I upgraded my Acer (7720) laptop from Vista 32 bit to Win 7 32 bit and didn't have any problems.

I dont have much time left Loosecanon
Can you please reconfirm the notebooks model, and your operating system? or someone else will have to help you if they are not too busy.

All i found even remotely close to his issue is an Optical drive PM Application for this notebook, not even sure if it's the right model yet?

Your correct on that one for sure....i don't know yet what his issue is regarding the CD ROM drive....it would be nice to get the model number reconfirmed by him and still no response....I'm leaving....I've been more than patient with this person.

hi,
have you tried acer?

Need Driver for my CD

Sorry folks,

ACER 5810T, W7 Home Premium 32.

The problem is that the system does not read CDs. Nothing happens, when I enter a CD. It is not even shown in Windows Explorer.
Running the diagnostics program that you can find in the Control Panel, the result is: "There is a problem with the CD-ROM station. The solution may be to reinstall the driver".
So I select that option, and the result was the the "device driver was not installed".
There is no CD-ROM driver in the list of drivers that ACER shows.
I try to avoid ACER Support, they charge you, you see.

If this gives a clue so one of you can point me in the right direction, I'll appreciate it.

Hi again...
I followed the procedure that Fireberd recommended. Not much luck.
The CD-ROM station had this error: Cannot load device driver. Driver may be damaged or missing (code 39).
I uninstalled and restarted PC, got this error message: Device driver was not installed. HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU10N.

Any help to get out there?
