Deleted drivers for my CD-ROM drives accidentally..

Recommended Posts

Can't seem to find the correct drivers online...downloaded one for my regular CD-ROM drive (Lite-On LTN486S) and it said that the "drive model does not match," despite it being labeled as the same thing. No luck locating a driver for my Supera DSM 6S165P burner drive either.

 

Windows will not update the drivers using the Add Hardware tool for some reason.

 

I found a thread where someone had the same problem and they said to uninstall them using the device manager, which I did. It picked them both up on the reboot but there is still an exclemation mark icon next to them in the device manager. Neither of them are listed under the "devices with removable storage" category in My Computer. My DVD burning software (Nero and another one) won't pick up either drive.

 

Can anyone help? I absolutely hate fucking driver problems. driverguide.com was no help, by the way.

 

Sorry if this is incoherent (sp?)...but I'm very tired.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jim

Was this a CD-ROM drive that came with your computer (or was it a PC you built) There should usually be a driver CD either way. If not, go to the manufacturers website, look up the model of your PC and see if there are any CD-ROM drivers there. If that doesn't, then check out the CD-ROM manufacturers website and see if they have any drivers. If there are multiple versions then download them all. It might take a bit of trail and error, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
