Damaged CD Drive Installation Prevents Icon from Appearing
Submitted by johnk on Fri, 05/11/2007 - 12:37.
The CDRW on a laptop wasn't appearing. The Device Manager saw that it was there, but reported:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration
information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
A fix was found here:
Google Search for the phrase above.
The solution was in the file cdgone.zip, attached below.
The fix wipes out a few registry keys. The next time the CD was removed and reconnected, the OS had an opportunity to create new registry entries.
