    LightScribe DVD drive not found in Windows Vista

    I can't run any CDs of any kind in in my LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive/CD writer. Which is weird cause I was just listening to an audio CD yesterday. It says in the device manager that the device cannot start(code 10)

    Details:
    HP Pavilion a6152n PC
    Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    3072MB system Memory
    400GB hard drive
    Device Driver: ATAPI DVD A DH16A1L ATA Device

    Possible reasons for problem:
    1: getting the hpOfficejet 4110 all-in-one printer, fax, scanner, copier, to work on vista.
    2: installing the PCSX2 emulator(which did not work)

    :p I do know a little bit about drivers, I've had some problems, but I'm not that good. Please presume I don't know anything when you post, it'll make it easier for me to understand.

    This can be some kind of driver problem. There is nothing much you can do. If the drive is detected but not working you can most probably try to re-install it. You can try re-installing the same from Device Manager. Let Vista use some internal drivers. Mostly optical drives are plug and play devices but for Lightscribe disc you need a special pc suite software also. So at start do not insert any disc. Go in Device Manager, uninstall the DVD and restart your system. Follow the screen instructions. If Vista is not able to find any drivers then try the installation CD back.

    The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that is running Windows Vista

    *laughs* It turns out that I saw that before, but I thought it was for a different one so I didn't use, guess that'll teach me eh? Thank you for your help, I'm so happy to be able to use my disks again.
    In the end, all there is, is love.
