Solve : CD/DVD Drive Missing?

Answer»

Hi, my laptop seems to have eaten my CD drive... I WENT to burn some music on to a cd yesterday and apparently I don't have a CD drive anymore.

There isn't even a DVD/CD-ROM Drives category in DEVICE manager.

When I put a disk in, I can HEAR it loading, and the little light flashes on the side, so I dont think its somehow managed to disconnect itself.

I'm using Vista if that helps

3. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll SEE two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstal. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.
