My dvd/cd-ROM drives is not detecting whenever i open my device manager, it is also not showing in my computer.
Please help.
Have you tried installing its driver?
How can i uninstall it when i am unable to find it.. can you help..
What OS version you have? Windows 7 & above by default, the DVD drive is only seen in Windows Explorer when media is detected in it.
Do you see a file named cdrom.sys under c:\windows\system32\drivers folder?
does drive give any indication that it's powered on. Does it eject the tray when you press the eject button?
what happens when you insert a CD/DVD in it? does it endlessly spin with blinking LED indicator?
First recheck all power & sata cables from mobo to the drive. unplug and replug them firmly.
try system restore.
Connect the drive, to a different SATA port/cable.
make sure the power power cable of the dvd drive is properly connected.
change sata port and cable as suggested.
Also make sure you are using a good PSU.
