Microsoft CD-ROM Driver Download
Microsoft driver. Microsoft CDROM Drivers. This site maintains listings of cd-rom, cd-rw, and dvd drivers available on the web, organized by company. Includes links to useful resources. Microsoft CDROM Drivers Download In our share libs contains the list of Microsoft CDROM drivers available for download. To download the proper driver by vender name. If not found in our garage driver you need, please contact us, we will help you in time, and updates to our website.
-->The CD ROM driver is used to provide access to CD, DVD and Blu-ray drives. It supports Plug and Play, Power Management, and AutoRun (media change notification).
Build the sample
You can build the sample in two ways: using Microsoft Visual Studio or the command line (MSBuild).
Note
When building in Visual Studio, INFVerifer will throw errors. This is intended. Fix those errors with your custom values to build successfully.

Building a Driver Using Visual Studio
You build a driver the same way you build any project or solution in Visual Studio. When you create a new driver project using a Windows driver template, the template defines a default (active) project configuration and a default (active) solution build configuration. When you create a project from existing driver sources or convert existing driver code that was built with previous versions of the WDK, the conversion process preserves the target version information (operating systems and platform).
The default Solution build configuration is Visual Studio Debug and Win32.
Open the driver project or solution in Visual Studio (find samplename.sln or samplename.vcxproj).
Right-click the solution in the Solutions Explorer and select Configuration Manager.
From the Configuration Manager, select the Active Solution Configuration (for example, Debug or Release) and the Active Solution Platform (for example, Win32) that correspond to the type of build you are interested in.
From the Build menu, click Build Solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).
Building a Driver Using the Command Line (MSBuild)
You can build a driver from the command line using the Visual Studio Command Prompt window and the Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild.exe) Previous versions of the WDK used the Windows Build utility (Build.exe) and provided separate build environment windows for each of the supported build configurations. You can now use the Visual Studio Command Prompt window for all build configurations.
Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt window at the Start screen. From this window you can use MsBuild.exe to build any Visual Studio project by specifying the project (.VcxProj) or solutions (.Sln) file.
Navigate to the project directory and enter the MSbuild command for your target. For example, to perform a clean build of a Visual Studio driver project called filtername.vcxproj, navigate to the project directory and enter the following MSBuild command:
msbuild /t:clean /t:build .<samplename>.vcxproj
Installation and Operation
The in-box CD ROM driver is protected by the system, and thus a normal device driver update attempt through the Device Manager will fail. Users are not encouraged to replace the in-box CD ROM driver. The following work-around is provided in case there is a need, but the users are warned that this may harm the system.
Locate the 'cdrom.inf' file in the binary output directory, and update the file by replacing all 'cdrom.sys' occurrences with 'mycdrom.sys'.
Rename the 'cdrom.inf' file to 'mycdrom.inf'.
Copy 'mycdrom.sys' and 'mycdrom.inf' from the binary output directory to the test machine, if applicable.
Launch the Device Manager
Select the appropriate device under the 'DVD/CD-ROM drives' category.
On the right-click menu, select 'Update Driver Software...'.
Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.
Click 'Have Disk...', and point to the directory that contains 'mycdrom.inf' and 'mycdrom.sys'.
Click 'Next'. If you get a warning dialog about installing unsigned driver, click 'Yes'.
Click 'Next' to complete the driver upgrade.
After installation completes successfully, 'mycdrom.sys' will be the effective driver for the device, 'cdrom.sys' will no longer be used.
For more information, see CD-ROM Drivers in the storage technologies design guide.
-->When the operating system enumerates a CD-ROM device, it loads a native CD-ROM class driver (Cdrom.sys). This driver exposes an I/O control request (IOCTL) interface. All public I/O control codes for drivers of CD-ROM devices use buffered I/O. Consequently, the input or output data for these requests is at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer. For more info, see CD-ROM I/O control codes
Class drivers for CD-ROM devices handle additional public I/O control codes, along with those described in this section. For more information about requirements for storage class drivers, see General Storage I/O Control Codes.
