    I am at a loss with this DVD drive. I have a Sony Vaio A150 laptop. I reinstalled XP and upon doing so my DVD drive is no longer operational. I have tried uninstalling the device via Device Manger and when a hardware search is done, it still is detected with a yellow explamation point in the Hardware Listing. I've tried downloading the firmware driver at Sony's page for this model: (KMFOPD-00704302-US(MatshitaUJ-820DVDRWOpticalDriveFirmwareUpdateUtil-v.1.01.40910)
    and it won't take. I'm not sure why this is doing this. All I can think of is trying to reinstall XP Pro/SP2 again from the dos screen at start.

    I appreciate any solutions that can be offered.

    Further Information

    Here is some further information that may be helpful:

    Matshita UJ-820D Properties
    General Tab:
    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    Volumes:
    "No information listed"

    Driver:
    Driver Provider: Microsoft
    Driver Date: 7/1/2001
    Driver Version: 5.1.2535.0
    Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Publisher

    Details:
    Device Instance Id
    IDE/CDROMMATSHITA_UJ_820D________1.01____\5&2A1F97F3&0&0.0.0

    The downloaded file from the Sony Website I listed in the previous post is called F/W Loader Firmware Upgrade Untility: Its saying that its the F/W Loader UJ-820B_V1.01_for_VAIO in the blue title bar of the program. If this is so, it may be an incorrect file version, since I have the 820D, or it won't apply due to it already having been Upgraded and won't allow a reinstall of the firmware.
