Help! CD/DVD drive not being recognised!

knoxy · 06-20-2008

okay, so ive had my computer for like 2 years now and the otherday the cd/dvd drive decided to not work, full stop. as in the thing isnt recognized by the BIOS its not recognized by windows and worst of all, not by itunes so i cant burn cds

so im asking does anyone know how i can fix this?

disconnect it, try a different cd/dvd drive, see if that works, if it doesn't it's a problem with the mother board or the connecting cable.

Look in the Device Manager and see if it has a yellow exclamation point by it's name, or is it not showing up at all?

Open your computer and check if everything looks okay and connected

I did that for my USB ports, they were disconnected one time.

Reinstall windows or use system restore

Try to reinstall the drivers? I dunno if this would help?

Weird. Open up your computer and make sure all the cables are in right. You can also try resetting your BIOS settings and upgrading it.

Hope it helps
