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:

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.

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...

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.

I have another problem..... The disc drive (which IS CD/DVDW) is shown as 2 different drives: ScreenHunter_01 Jan. 14 17.14.jpg
When I put a CD in, it reads it fine, but if I put a DVD in, it doesn't detect anything on it, on either drives. the only 1 that works is the one that says it's a CD. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them both at the same time, no change. please help! i'm trying to do something and it's delaying me!

You dont happen to have something like daemon tools lite installed on there do you? That could cause you to have 2 drives show up among other things.

I have been having the same problem.

Windows XP recognizes the drive. But, cannot read from ot write to discs in the drive. I have; used HP restore to return the computer to the 'as shipped' state; tried the Miicro$oft fix suggested by bomberboysk. Nothing worked.

I can however, still burn Ligfhtscribe labels.

I have just about decided that the read/write laser is toast.

I found that if you use something like Magic ISO or something like that, it burns anything just fine!

Doesn't sound like it will work. But hey, I have heard of stranger things. So, I downloaded the latest Magic Iso and gave it a try. No Dice. It sees the drive. But thinks the drive is alway empty.

Thank you

I want to thank bomberboysk, i haven't had the problem for quite sometime and couldn't remember how to fix it, I read your post clicked on the link and it was way more simpler than I remember.
Thank you so much for the Link.
