The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DVD-RW driver error code 39

Asked by wcoil in PC Laptops

Tags: HP, Pavilion, zv6000, HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GCA-4080N

Hello all,
  I'm a PC hardward tech and I have run into a real problem.  One of the PC's that has come in for repair is having an issue w/ the DVD-RW drive.  
Here's the PC's specs:
WinXP SP3
512MB of RAM
AMD Athlon 997MHZ
  If you go into the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point next to the following:
HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GCA-4080N
and the properties states error code 39
  At this point I've done the following:
       I've uninstalled the driver and rebooted and allowed windows to reinstall the driver
       I've ran a registry editor fix from microsoft telling me to delete the Upper Filters and Lower Filters and rebooted
       I've tried a vb script straight from HP tech support named xp_cd_fix
None of the options have helped me out.  Is there a way that I can test the Drive to make sure it is functioning?  Or is my next step attempting a clean wipe of the HD and reinstall WinXP?
Please help!
