Samson:
"The Online status occurs when a basic or dynamic disk is accessible and has no known problems. This is the normal disk status. No user action is required." From Microsoft.
A few final suggestions....
Have you tried running the Fixit that I included in an attached zip file offline, ie not connected to the internet?
Have you tried uninstalling, and reinstalling the device to be sure that the correct drivers are loaded? Also physically removing and reseating the drive to ensure all connections are good.
In a previous post you mentioned HP/ Compaq, it may be that the drive requires specific drivers for your laptop, or a firmware update may be available from HP/ Compaq for it. Have you searched HP support for that? Look under the model number for your machine.
Failing all of the above it could just be a hardware failure.

Hi, i tried your fixit . it did not process and came with the same error code 80072f8f
Samson:
Have you tried uninstalling the drive and reinstalling the generic Windows drivers? (My old DELL latitude just uses them).
Have you physically removed/ reseated the drive? checked the connectors?
Will it play any commercially released CDs/ DVDs? Music, films etc.
