darn... it did not work. there wasn't anything yellow i think i wana cry

did the drive ever work..?...the reason I ask is if you bought a CD from sony ..they put a rootkit on your computer and if you try to remove it or make more copies then your allowed...it will disable your CD?DVD drive

yes it use to work and its not from sony, it from toshiba; TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2152 (i hope this helps).

I was talking about music CDs that you buy...some of the Sony music CDs had rootkits that installed when you rip the music to your computer.....try going to TOSHIBA and get the drivers for your DVD drive..download them to your desktop..then go back to device manager and uninstall the drivers..the reinstall the new drivers you downloaded

oh.. all right, the cd im trying to play is not from sony, well i tried with diferent cds

[happyrock]

I'm not making myself clear..if sometime in the past..months ago you bought a Sony or BMG music CD and ripped it to your system or when you went to play it even ..it would say something like you need to install something and if you clicked yes...it would then install a rootkit that hides itself so it takes a special tool to even detect it...much less remove it.....it could "break" your CD/DVD drive and at the same time make your system open to other malware that took advantage of the rootkits ability to hide from anti malware tools

Go to www.winamp.com download the free player and try to play the CD with it.

[Mike-pxndx]

i got winamp and WMP... wont work anyways, the problem is with the driver or something not with the application i use to play the cd

[happyrock]

have you looked at the DVD drive manufactures site for drivers or firmware updates ?
