    I have looked all over the Internetand haven't found in update.

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

    Sorry the above link was for code 31, code 39 seems a bit simpler to fix...

    my point is I need to download the drivers
    since the ones that I have are corrupt
    I can't find any but I know they're out there

    I tried google using this phrase[HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GSR8162B driver]
    I couldn't find a match for either 1.

    Thx but late last night I fixed it.
    I went into the registry and deleted
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} [the lower filter]

    then I reboot the computer
    and Presto my CD/DVDs drives were back.

    once again thank you.

    I hate to say this but I'm not computer illiterate.the
    I've never had a driver problem before and I was confused by the fact that I couldn't find drivers that I needed.

    By the way I'm using a voice to speech program. That's why you might see words in the wrong place. [Im still getting it configured]

    LOCOENG just curious what programs do you use for maintenance/protection on your computer?

    you ususally won't find drivers for rom drives as they use the ones in windows.

    ouch....I'm sorry to say but Norton is super sensitive at least its firewall and antivirus. Their utilities are great.

    Use Symantec AntiVirus
    Symantec makes Norton products
    but Symantec works much better, especially the corporate addition.

    get CCleaner excellent program and its safe.
    go to the site for info.
    www.ccleaner.com
    for spywhere [Spybot - Search & Destroy] and [adaware]
    and for an excellent browser [Mozilla Firefox]
