Faulty optical disc drive on Satellite X200
Posted: 13-Apr-2012 10:43

Hello,
I cannot read discs, burn disc or even see my CD drive.

When I try to burn a disk I am getting a message
"Cannot locate a CD burner on your computer
If you have cd burner, please insure it is properly installed.

I also cannot bring up the CD drive in the "My Computer" window, however when testing the driver it states " this driver is working correctly

This is interesting as I was able to do so prior to today.
Satellite X200 PSPB9A-057022
Any Help?
Jules

Hi

I think you could solve this annoying issue following this short workaround:

Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list
Now start the regedit (registry) and delete the upper and lower filters from the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Here is also an MS knowledge base article which describes solution regarding similar issue:
