Hi there,

I am quite a newbie to all this tech stuff, but I've got a MAJOR problem!

I can't use my CD/DVD device any more. The device manager lists it (when it sees it) as "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203D" with the manufacturer (Standard CD-ROM drives), Driver Provider: Microsoft, Driver Date: 01/07/2001, Driver Version: 5.1.2535.0. I use Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and I get an error for this device saying "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer. (Code 45)" or even "No drivers are installed for this device."

I have even got a CD-ROM stuck inside, it won't eject it, nor recognize it. I have already tried everything I could, troubleshooting or looking for a driver download on the internet. However, I've got no results so far and I desperatly need my only CD-ROM/DVD drive!

PLEASE, IF ANYONE OUT THERE COULD HELP ME, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH! I think you guys here are my last hope.

Sincerely yours, Kassiopeia
