Drivers? Are you sure, more likely to be a device ID from PnP.

Have you run Shane's Hardware ID? Then Google the device ID for drivers that others are using, my guess will be XP generic like you have. In XP vitually all DVD drives use OS drivers, I've never come across one that does n't.

You will find nothing on the Sony site, such as firmware updates or drivers as the replacement that you have is OEM, probably pulled from an old machine by the tech, so its history is unknown.

I admire your persistence, but think replacement is probably your only solution.

jraju:
Hi, samson,
             please see the attaachment to get any clue on the error.
Pl see the enclosed files from dvddisaster progress. It scanned 327680 sectors of one radable cd having cdfs format. It stopped and showed read error from 309456 to last sectors as read error, unrecoverable. I scanned the same disk with VSO inspector, which scanned the same and showed 94.4 as good and 5.6 as bad sectors.
                Does that means the disk sensor problem. It shows the last round of the disc as red and in vso logs , shows read error. Ofcourse, sectors vary between programs.
                    How to check the sensor of the cd drive. Are there any tools to check the same.
                     My last resort is to replace the laptop cd drive with usb drive available readily .
                     Are there any limit to sensors  , I mean the number of readings . how could this get damaged. Pl boggins and samson

Boggin:
Did you ever get this fixed ?

jraju:
Hi, no . The problem remains. But , as an alternative, if at all i need dvd drive, i will go for usb cd dvd drive, which is popular.
                      It is just outside the laptop and no need to fix it after removing the defective.
                        The problem may be in the device itself

Boggin:
It did sound like it was the actual disk drive.

It's just that I've been helping someone on another forum who is getting an I/O error when trying to burn anything with it and remembered you were having a similar problem.

It sounds like the burn laser has gone on this disk drive as well.
