My problem is also a code 39 but with a twist. At end of Oct., I tried to
install a digital camera and I believe that is when my drive stopped working.
However, I originally went into device manager and under dvd/cd-rom drives
listed:HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GSA-HIIN ATA device. I felt this might be my problem
and I deleted it. Now I'm left with local drive c: only. I cannot run any
discs of any sort and decided to troubleshoot the code 39. I went into the
registry editor and deleted the upper and lower filters with no solution. I
then attempted to restore my system but my computer does not recognize my
drive. I think I may of haphazardly erased my cd/dvd rw drive. HELP! Is
there anything I can do now?
