my dvd cd rw drive has disappeared - the computer no longer 'sees' the drive and it is no longer on the hardware profiles. I had been having a problem with the drive opening and closing for no reason. anyone got any idea what might be wrong ?
Well check the connections first. If you're not confident working with your computer innards, it might be safer to take it to a professional, or at the very least a friend who knows what they're looking for :P
Thanx to all - it was indeed the connection cable! I took it off both ends and replugged it - hey presto dvd rom is back- I will get another cable just to make sure. MTIH1992 u are my hero
