Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted or missing. (Code 39)


Ok , as I have found out relatively quickly this is somewhat of a comm on
problem with Windows XP. All of the " generic "
Troubleshooting/Uninstall/Reinstall seem to be useless. I have however ,
Found a somewhat different solution and am looking for the answers ASAP. I
have found the solution of registry editing. Now mind you I know the whole
process of doing things. Just a simple question to be answered. When you go
into the registry the " solution " requires you to delete " UPPER " and "
LOWER " filters , follwed by a reboot. Now , while in the registry , The
upper filters are in the right hand column but I have found no " LOWER "
filters in all of the control sets ( i.e. Current control set , Control set
001 etc ) Is this a problem or can I simply delete the upper filters without
lower filters present? PLEASE get back to me asap.

Thanks

The problem is this

I cannot see the CD-RW icon in My Computer

Yellow icon in device manager against the drive name.
Description shows
-"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The drive
may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
-

This happened after i upgraded to the WinXP from Win98
The drive had worked perfectly for past 4 years...till now. and no
also I used it to install the same WinXP....10 min ago!!! So driv
failure ruled out. BIOS shows drive correctly.

SysConfig:
Win XP SP2
AMD 2000
LG 52X-32X-10X CD-RW GCE8525B

This is What I have tried so far - and prblem not solved yet:

1. Rebooting : Didnt help

2. Removing and Reinstalling the drive in Device Manager : Not useful
it reloads the old drivers

3. Upgrading the driver : Win says it is having the best driver . wil
not upgrade.

4. The registry edit suggested on the various forums, including thi
one.

-*"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/{4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}"*-

Source: -http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320553/-

In this I can not find the reg values mentioned .

*-UpperFilters -*and *-LowerFilters-*,

I searched. They are not present.!!!!

5. I have considered another solution suggested: The device Firmwar
upgrade for the CD-RW drive itself !! Found it on LG site. The warning
on the site freaked me out....Will it be really required ??

Now

I request all you good people out there to suggest me further.

I do not wish to re-install. Somehow i suspect a re-install will giv
same problem again. I am very scared to do that drive hardware upgrad
. it may spoil the drive permanently.

Is a good driver of GCE8525B available for WindowsXP-SP2
and Is ther a way to force system to take this new driver?


Thanks

You should download and install the firmware update for your LG GCE8525B
drive.

Print the above page so you have a hard copy of the instructions.

It is not that hard to do.

Or you could just buy an New CD-RW drive, They are very cheap now, maybe
$30-$40 USD.

the .vbs link at the top works a lot!. Thanks

Thank you very much Prasad, you have suggested very good solution. My CD
Drive was not working and I ran the file you had suggested and it
restored back the CD Drive !!! Thanks a ton for your help and keep up
the good work. GOD BLESS YOU PRASAD !!!!

Prasad's solution worked perfect for me. I saved the file to m
desktop, then ran the .VBS file from the RUN command. Afte
re-booting, the drivers for both of my CD-RW drives were successfull
loaded and the drives could be seen in Windows Explorer. This is
wonderful website with knowledgeable members. I thought I was going t
spend hours solving the problem

Dear Prasad,
I did what you said by downloading this
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_cd_dvd_fix.vbs

and it did indeed fixed the problem, but my driver wont burn cd's. why
is this? and how can I fix it? The name of the driver is "DVD-RW 16X
LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S". Please help me...
