Solve : small prob with dvd r/w?

Answer» HI...
my dvd writer is being DETECTED in the CMOS settings...but it cannot be seen in my computer.....
this problem is coming many times...
is there any way by which i can access the contents of the dvd rom..even when it's not shown in my computer.??
can this be done using MS-DOS??I don't know....you can try creating a shortcut on the desktop. Have the location be the drive your cd is like 'E:\' or somethingList your system specs including your dvdrw. Then tell how it is jumpered.processor-pentium D core
ram-1gb ddr 400m
os-xp sp-2

abt dvd writer..
it's a pioneer dvd r/w
dont know the design code exactly....

ru asking abt jumper of dvd r/w...then no jumper is used....
it's been like that from the beginning...Quote

@co2
The drive itself is not getting displayed in the "my computer"
no use of the shortcut...is ther a posibility that the dvd r/w has a problem and btw u can try

start E:\
on cmd

or watever the drive name isDoes it show up in Device Manager ? ?
If so right click it and select uninstall/remove and re-BOOT...

What happens now ? ?Quote

What is not clear though, is: Was the dvd drive EVER seen by Windows?

Has this drive been in the computer, and working, in the past? and this problem is something new?

Or, has this drive just been installed, and you are trying to get it working for the first time?

This dvd r/w is working in the past...
sometimes it's being displayed and sometimes it's not being displayed in the "my computer"...
@patio
when it's not being displayed it can not be seen in the device manager ALSO...but in cmos settings it can be seen...

when i keep any boot cd then it's reading that boot cd....

could this problem be related to windows OS??should i load OS again??


First try what i suggested when it IS showing up in Device Manager...ok...i've tried this...as of now it's working....
Thank you all for your suggestions Stop by anytime...
