Well, guess what: my CD/DVD drive disappeared :-) on new laptop. Yes, I installed a few applications: Halo 2 and staff, but not even started to install my tool set.
I googled Internet for "Vista cdrom.sys error 39" and found that many folks have same issue.
Common Solution ( bad solution for regular user - involves registry editing that may not be safe !)
You need find and edit this registry key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in “regedit” without the quotation marks.
3. Maximize the HKLM and then go ahead and browse until you reach the key listed above.
4. In the right panel you’ll see something along the lines of “UpperFilter” and “LowerFilter” you want to click on each “filter” key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
Well, how cool is that ?
