DVD-RW problems

[Guest Josh]

My LG GSA-H50-L DVD writer has worked in the past on my Vista 64bit

system, but has now decided not to work. I didn't do anything with the

harware. The power is still connected, and if I disable all the drivers,

vista recognizes the ATA device and attempts to install the drivers. At that

point, it says it fails, and in device manager, it reports that it doesn't

work because the drivers are missing or corrupted. No software comes with the

drive b/c I thought it uses generic drivers. Is there somewhere I can

download these generic drivers so that it can install them next time?

Josh:

The first thing you should try is a system restore to a prior state ("the

past") when your DVD writer was working Ok.

If that doesn't work, try this KB.

Best of luck.
