" This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."

keep in mind that this only temporarily fixes the problem it may go out again every so often

ok this is my method:
go into control panel click hardware and sound then click device manager then open the
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, file, now u should see sumthn that says IDE Channel 0, single click it, u should now have in the tool bar at top 3 new icons 1 with an arrow pointing up, a pc with an X, and a pc with an arrow pointing down click the last 1 to disable the controller then restart the computer go back into the device manager and enable the controller u just disabled then go into computer and check to see if the drive is there if not then disable all the Controllers that "can be" disabled restart and enable them, it should be there after that ive found that it mainly happens mainly when u perform an update to the system.
