Is the drive newly installed or a present drive that worked previously?
Is the ! (Bang) next to the drive in DVD/CD ROM Drives or is it showing as Unknown or
Other in Device Manager?
Basically you can update the driver for the drive using the disk provided with the
drive, or download the latest updated drivers from the manufacturers support site.
Before updating the driver, familiarize yourself with the location of the .inf file
on the provided disk or the folder you extracted the files to from the manufacturers
site. Take note as to the exact location of the .inf file and write it down to ease
the update process.
To update the driver:
Right click on the drive with the conflict > click Update Driver in the popup menu.
Select "No, not this time" > click Next.
Select " Install from a list or specific location" > click Next.
Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" > click Next.
Click the "Have disk" button.
Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the directory/folder you noted that has the
..inf file.
Open the subfolder the .inf file is in (if it's in a subfolder) and double click the
..inf file.
Click Ok and follow the prompts to finish installing the updated driver.
When complete reboot if required.
If you have any problems, please provide the Make/Model of the drive.
