Diogo, usually when that happens you can right click on the yellow icon'd device, uninstall, and then "scan for hardware changes" and it will replace it for you. You can also reboot after uninstalling and it should replace it on next boot. Leave the DVD tray empty while doing that.

If that doesn't work, try the suggestions here from Microsoft - look for the Code number in the error to find specific help.

Diogo, Step 1 and 2 have some fixes / auto-fixes worth trying 🙂

Thanks to all 🙂 I fixed the problem already. I booted the PC, open BIOS and did Boot Overide and i dont know how but it started working.

Many thanks for all!

Diogo, so you forced the OS to try to boot from something in the (empty?) DVD drive, and the OS built the structures needed to recognize the drive requested by the BIOS? 🙂

Good work!
