I had to restore my computer and my cd has completely disappeared from the screen when I call up MY Computer. When I go into the DEVICE manager I get an! with a yellow circle around it which I know is not good. I have uninstalled the device but it keeps coming back with the ERROR. The CD works (opens & closes) but it is like it is not part of the computer. Can anyone help me get my CD back working? I know I had to do something to get it operating in XP a while ago but I can't remember what.

Thanks in advance

ExactormanFirst, make sure that you are connected to the internet... Second, go to the device manager, and right-click on that drive for me... Click on Update Drivers... Windows will now try to fix the problem... This might take a minute or two depending on your computer and its connection...

[glb]Flame[/glb]Hello friend, how are you? First of all disconnect the CD Drive from the motherboard and then turn your PC ON. When your PC started up completely, do shut it down. Now re connect the CD Drive and then turn your PC ON. This time it will automatically load your CD Drive.
If not then try to interchane the place of connection of your CD Drive and Hard Drive. But do this only if above method is not working. WITH CARE...
Do take care of you and others.
DeWThanks but it didn't work. I'm still whackin AWAY. I think it has something to to with a Roxio DRIVER for XP.

Thanks,

E'manDoes you CD light is always on?? If so try to put your ATAPI cable in the other side
