Born in 1966 on a Pacific island south-east of Japan, my name is often shortened to just Barugon (バルゴン), which is not to be confused with Baragon – very similar in name, but certainly not in appearance.
According to an ancient Japanese legend, a single Barugon is born only once every thousand years from an egg that resembles a large opal. While a normal Barugon takes ten years to reach full maturity, my rapid growth was an anomaly, caused by exposure of the egg to infra-red radiation as a result of nuclear testing in the Pacific.
Despite what some believe, I’ve actually had a very good friendship and working relationship with Gamera (ガメラ), also known as the ‘friend of all children’. While we did get along very well, one our quarrels was fairly high-profile, as referenced in 大怪獣決闘 ガメラ対バルゴン, but that’s another story for another time 🙂

Barugon ,
Your Fix for the my CD / DVD Rom was right on the money .
I had to run the Sony XCP Rootkit fix .
After that no more error 39 in Xp Device Manager and CD Rom Drive is now Accesible .
You are an awesome person to make this fix available for no charge ,
I burned through 6 hours of Tech Time trying to follow M$’s Instructions concerning the registry fixes .
I also spent two online chatting with HP Tech Support and they were clueless . They had me run a VBS Script from MVP Doug Knox called XP_CD+DVD+FIX.VBS . iT ALSO DID NOTHING TO HELP THE MISSING DVD BURNER Problem .
Again , Many Thanks and I will dance at your next wedding !!!
Arigato !!

Hi barugon,
Many thanks for the NetoDragon fix, I downloaded the drivers from you chums in Canada and they worked a treat!
I smiled at your reference to sorting your grandfather’s laptop as a grandpa of three myself its the other way round – I fix their probs.
Regards,
Vince

Barugon,
I was following your instructions regarding the error Code 39 with a sense that maybe I was finally going to solve my CD/DVD drive problem. Everything was going fine until I started to operate DevCon. At the part when I typed C:\DevCon\devcon stack gendron, instead of getting a list like in your picture, I got the message: ‘devcon’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I tried a number of different things but couldn’t make it work. Any idea why I’m not getting the same response? Any help over this final hurdle would be greatly appreciated.
