Jambojohnnyboy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My CD/DVD drive has disappeared and I have tried several things to try and restore it but nothing is working. Any suggestions on how I can get it back, I'm lost without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Same thing happened to my gf's wee brothers laptop, he had installed some strange DVD software. It's just a few settings in the registry which are hiding the unit. Check thru this... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All back in working order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
