XP does not recognise my dvd/CD Rom drive

[Guest mariel2]

My system: Microsoft Window XP

Home edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2

 

Sony Vayo - DVD/CD-Rom DRIVE Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-15

 

The drive does not appear on 'My Computer', and it is crossed out on Device

Manager.

 

I would much appreciate your help for sorting this problem.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Can't see it but, when I clicked on troubleshooting in Device Manager I got

the following:

'Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot

find the hardware device. (Code 41)'

it may have died, these days dvd/cd drives are cheap, get a new one.
