[Not Working!] cd driver is not working

Ok guts I got a sony lap top running win vista I have not use the cd/dvd driver for a long time, I went to add a progream for my cnx I notice that the cd driver runs but there its not doing nothing its not showing the driver its as if it not there at all, I went to my computer and the only thing I see is the remove able stick on (D: ) drive
and (E: ) SD/mmc.. and no other driver

I remove the intrunel cd driver and put it back in to see if it would reboot it back but nothing,
let me ask do yous think the cd/dvd driver went bad or do yous think that the progream has been remove all togather i do love my wife but she does thing like this sometime not knowing that she may of remove it, like I said I see the light go on and when i 1st put a cd in it does run but that all it does no pop up on the driver nothing..

I was thinking that maybe a progream to run this cd/driver is gone for some rason any idea..

or should go and buy an extrunal cd/driver..

make sure you have the cd driver in the computer if not then you will have to re=load it....

Also have you tried opening threw my computer if it does not start automatically..


It must of being change by who ever loaded the removable usb stick some times people change the location or remove it with out knowing it ...USB Sticks should be label either be E. or F. Drive ...try opening it threw another drive...


make sure you have the cd driver in the computer if not then you will have to re=load it....

that make sence now somebody remover the cd driver and change it to the remove able stick most likely the driver went with the stick dam

I don't know what kind of cd/dvd writer or what progream to use, if I start frish from jump as if it was new computer would the drivers and progeams all come back it been over a year, last time I gave it a frish new start, I just got a few files I got to save, it's like the site here rebooting because Rumas mess up someware then call it updating.. LOL!!

what do you think of just starting frish Wizzard or anybody

go to you system tools click on system information it will be in there what cd drive u have install ...or you can click on your properties and look threw there...Or else you can also go back and do a system restore to an Earlier day and time this will restore your laptop to what ever configuration you had at that time ..Do you Remember around what month u started using the removable drive stick..

buttman, go shoot the damn thing already! LOL! J/K...anyway, I had the same problem...downloaded some DVD cracking program to burn movies...it ended up nothing is working, and I can't even play DVD, or CD. So I bought it in to have it fix, and the damn laptop got burnt!
HP laptop were known to have this kind of problem. so, I shot it. Now I got a computer..

yep i went into the system tool found it matshita BD-MLT UJ-220vATA look like the driver is gone it say its missing i tried to update but no good ,so I'm just going to restart from frish start if that don't work then I got the BAT GUNS.. I will have to take it to boot hill at sun rise bart..

Download Matshita Windows CD-ROM Drivers?

First off, make sure you understand the Matshita name game. To wit, "Matshita" is really an abbreviation of "Matsushita", which is the Japanese company that owns Panasonic. So don't be surprised if your "Matshita" CD-ROM drive needs a Windows device driver from Panasonic!
