I have a Dell Vostro 1500 computer.
the DVD drive is labeled in the device manager as: PBDS DVD+-RW DS-8WIP ATA device.
when I CLICKED on it the device manager GAVE me this code: This device cannot start (code10).
I tried to update the driver and it said I had the best version of the driver.

When I go into my computer the DVD drive is not even listed.

I am running windows vista 32-bit with service pack 2.

Please HELP me.Is this a new problem? Has this device worked properly before? What did you recently do that may have caused this problem? Such as adding/deleting software/hardware?truenorth
