    Pioneer DR-KD08HB Disk Drive Not Recognized?


    A few weeks ago, I replaced the motherboard on my notebook due to a faulty graphics card. Since replacing it, the computer has not recognized my DVD-R drive. I had tried installing the GEAR drivers, which has not changed anything. The computer does not show any disk drive is present. My system information is below:

    Computer: HP dv9000 Series Notebook
    Disk Drive: Pioneer DR-KD08HB

    How do I get the computer to recognize the drive?

    Is your drive showing in BIOS?



    Try this:
    Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
    Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media
    The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista

    Windows is claiming that there is no disk drive installed, and on checking for hardware changes, none are detected. (this was reported when running one of the Mats_run.dvd.exe fixes)

    It seems that it is not listed in device manager, but there are a number of devices which are listed which are down as unknown, and apparently there are no drivers present for any of them?
