Good people, I installed Windows 7 replacing Vista, and I'm not able to access CD or DVD through the ROM. I remember after installing the current OS, I watched a movie on my laptop, but all of a sudden, I can't find drive E: (which was my DVD drive). I have done a trouble shoot, run device manager and I seem to have been lost in the maze. Device manager shows the CD ROM but with a yellow tab on the left. I can't roll back the drive (the tab is blocked) but I can update and check the device status which states:* Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). *I have googled, searched on Microsoft website for help, but still I find myself in the deepest part of the maze. Restoring the system to an earlier point, does not help me either. I installed the same on a PC and it's working well. The DVD and CD are playing very well. Any one out there with a solution? BTW, is Windows 7, having issues as opposed to Vista? Thanks -- Solomon Mbũrũ Kamau P.O.
