    Code 10 error... device wont start

    I am on WinXP home on a PC with a P4 2.54ghz processor, 1gb of ram, and 420gb total disc space.

    I have a Sony dru530a DVD-R drive and it use to work almost fine. Now, the drive is not showing up in My Computer. Instead, I get a drive listed in "Other" section with an icon of a disk drive and a red questino mark. When I click it, it says "L:\referes to a location that is unavailable..... " The Sony drive shows up in the device manager, but ther is a yellow exclamation mark over it and it has a funny name Sony ( (D^D(R_LR]-=38a(. When I go to properties, I get in devise status "This device cannot start. (Code 10)."

    How can I correct this code 10 error?

    Have you tried to uninstall the device in control panel and let XP find the device and reinstall it. Sounds like the driver had gone south on you. I can't find any support for that device on Sonys web site.

    Uninstalling and Reinstalling doesnt work.
    Sony has no drivers for the drive cuz they say WinXP comes with the drivers. But the WinXP drive seems to be currupt and when I uninstall and win reinstalls, I have same problem...

    Welcome to Windrivers madjamaican

    Code 10 means a lack of resources, or a lack of power to the hardware. If this PC is still in warranty, I suggest you call HP first because what I have to suggest will entail opening the PC and possibly voiding the warranty.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
