1.	Solve : Solution : Lost DVD/CD-ROM icon on Sony laptop Windows 7?
Answer» Suddenly, without any warnng, l lost the E:/ icon and could do nothing with DVD's/CD's – the DRIVE was locked tight! After ages of trying out all sorts of COMPLICATED registry manipulations offered on numerous FORUMS (I started feeling like a blind neural surgeon), I spotted one method which sounded very simple and strange, BUT IT WORKED. Run down and turn off laptop, remove battery, leave for about a minute or 2, replace battery, turn on computer, and lo and BEHOLD on My Computer the E:/ has returned! I guarantee nothing, but it worked with me......... it happened again today, "icon" lost inE:/ My Computer. Re-appeared again after doing the above, but can anyone tell me what's GOING on, and how to prevent this in future? BobEither the laptop is overheating...or the optical drive is getting ready to fail...Or both.I dont think its the temperature - I am measuring temperatures of <50°C. in the P6200 Intel Pentium
