Drivers for HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F in Win XP

[david wong 19]

I always got an ! mark next to HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F in Win XP device manager. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, the ! mark

still appeared. Technically, there is no CD-ROM logo in "My Computer" panel. Any suggestions?

You can try this method to find driver also.

Delete the (!) entry in device manager, so it is not left over from b/4.

If you go in device manager, go in details for the device driver.
You will see a code like per example VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS...

The VEN code means vendor and the DEV code means device: in this case the vendor is 8086 and the device is 27D8.

Once you have the two codes, go to www.pcidatabase.com. Enter the two codes and you should get the name of your hardware. From there you can search for a driver download for your hardware.
