Optiarc DVD RW AD-7561A This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Optiarc DVD RW AD-7561A ATA Device.
In Device Properties under Device Status it reads:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
I have an Optiarc DVD/RW AD 7203A ATA Device, which reads "Device Cannot Start". I tried restoring twice but after two days, it reads the same error message. I have Vista OS. Tried going to the site to download driver but it is not available. Tried e-mailing for help but solutions are not helping.
Go to this incredibly long link (sorry about that) and look though the solutions there, it says it is for hp and sony computers but it has the same principal for all dvd/cd drives

Check BIOS for Optical drive. Press F key noted on boot screen to enter. If it's not noted there, you need to check physical connections. Might just need to be re-seated with power disconnected. Re-check BIOS and make sure to save before exiting.
If it is noted in BIOS and Windows still fails to see the drive. Run a thorough virus scan, then boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 during startup. Go to Device Manager, and select Show Hidden devices under the View tab. Delete all drives and reboot. Windows should say new hardware found and install.
This should take care of the problem if there is nothing wrong with the drive. Replace or seek professional support is not, and good luck
Is this an internal or external drive? if it is an internal one then on the device manager screen where it is hows the yellow sign on signoptiarc dvd rw ad 7563a ata device, right click on that an click on uninstall.....And if any pop up comes up click on ok and restart the pc after that. Wait for the pc to reinstall the driver for the dvd drive. And then check the status of the dvd drive on device manager. If it does not have any yellow sigh then try again.
Here are some things that you can try to resolve this problem.
Update the driver
In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver.
You
may be prompted to provide the path of the driver. Windows may have the
driver built-in, or may still have the driver files installed from the
last time that you set up the device. If you are asked for the driver
and you do not have it, you can try to download the latest driver from
the hardware vendor’s Web site.
You will have to uninstall the drive and reinstall again. I think the drivers for the drive is not properly installed. But if all this does not work, then I think you will have to do a system restore.
weird. Try using Windows System Restore to revert back to before installing dameon tools. You can try installing it again but I would re-download just to be safe. It it happens again you might want to try alcohol 120% instead.
I beleive that this code is being displayed under the Device Status in the Properties window of the DVD Drive in Device Manager.
If it is so, you need to do some modifications with the Registry to resolve the issue and I am sure that the issue will be resolved with this.
However, since you had not specified the Operating System which is installed in the Notebook is Vista or XP.
However, I am providing the links which includes the steps for both Vista and XP to edit the registry to resolve the issue with Error Code 10 with the DVD Drive in your Notebook.
