I have a Sony Viao Laptop which has a Toshiba DVD-Rom sd-
c2102 drive> When I turn on the computer I get a message
reading: cannot find CDUDF.SYS

I have a feeling I deleted the file by accident. Can
someone please help we try to get this file back so that I
can play disks. Or alternatively what else I can do to
make the drive work

Many thanks

I would consider re-installing the drivers. But you don't even say
your OS, so....

I am running Windows 2000, if that is any help. Because I
am not that knowledgeable about installing drivers, how
would I reinstall the driver. How will the computer
recognise the CD drive

All pertinent details are alway good. W2K/XP do have differences.
I know neither your system nor that DVD.

This is just a general rule, go to Sony and/or Toshiba sites, locate
the drivers for your OS, and DVD hardware, download them and the
instructions.

CDUDF.SYS is not a W2K file. "CD" is clear and "UDF" in context is a
file system driver (for CDs). Since you believe you deleted the file
and have presumably no copy of the exact file, most likely you will
need to re-install the drivers or software that includes the missing
file.

Now, before proceeding, you need to put more information into your
post. Why? Because CD-burning software on your system may be the
source of CDUDF.SYS and not the hardware drivers. Once you give all
the information someone may be able to help. And searching at Google
may also yield results. And have you recently installed new software
for burning CD's?
