i have similar hardware liteon dvd rw and a hp litescribe rw which worked
fine. plug and play actually. Then one day they both didnt show up in my
computer but were shown in device manager with code 10 errors saying they
couldnt start. For me i found this to be an issue with having itunes on my
computer. Removed the program and my drives work again. I dunno may be
different issue for you but maybe check some recent loaded software to see if
its blocking it

I researched this on the internet with the manufacturer and found no help, so
I broke down and researched the file structure needed for the LSC-24082K ATA
Device (Slimtype Combo DVD/CD-RW) to work properly and my solution is as
follows:

On the test I discovered four(4) missing files ...

These following files belong in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS folder.

AFS2K.SYS
IMAPI.SYS
PXHELP20.SYS
REDBOOK.SYS

Make sure that the file CDROM.SYS is present in that above location too.

There is also a dependent file, STORPROP.DLL that should be in the
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder

After copying the missing files to there proper place I uninstalled the
driver and restarted the system and everything was working perfectly.

My install type was an upgrade, but for some reason VISTA deleted the
dependent files needed for the DVD/CR-RW to work properly.

Good luck, I hope this works for you.
