Please help with my TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552L drive!

racer13fly · 01-13-2009, 05:11 AM

It used to work fine, but suddenly I noticed that something was wrong when I put a disc in and it didn't recognize it. I went to the device manager and here is what I saw:
Attachment 2864
I tried reinstalling it, no change. What does this mean? It opens and closes fine. The light blinks whenever a disc is put in. Please help!
Thanks!

Uninstall the drive and then reboot the laptop and see if windows can reinstall the driver correctly.

it's a desktop, but ok. ill try.

racer13fly · 01-13-2009, 09:26 PM

nope, no change. same thing. It says something about the driver. not installing right. I went to the samsung ODD website, and they dont even have the driver anymore..... they have TS-H552D, but not TS-H552L...

Try doing a repair installation of windows.

racer13fly · 01-13-2009, 09:54 PM

how do I do that?

Put the install cd in the drive and boot to it. Watch the prompts for when it asks you if you want to do a repair install or fresh install. DO NOT hit R when it asks you if you want to use the recovery console to try to fix it. Repair will be on the next screen you see.
