Windows 7 - Windows 7 does not see my DVD ROM

| | Windows 7 does not see my DVD ROM Help! My Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit does not see my D: drive --my DVD ROM. I have already tried all of the restore points and none of them fixed the problem. I even tried to go into REEDIT to delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters, but they do not exist either. What the heck am I suppose to do now? I can'r even reformat my hard drive without the stupid DVD Rom? Would someone please, please for God sake help me, before I go absolutely friggin crazy. Thank you. Jallard |

| | How about some history to help us?? Is this a new problem, in that, Windows 7 used to see your DVD drive but does not anymore? IF so, what has changed on your PC since Windows 7 last "saw it"? Is this a new drive? If so, does it show up in the BIOS? If a new drive, did you switch over from an IDE drive to a SATA drive? If so, is the new drive's SATA mode IDE or AHCI? |

| | No No, it isn't a new drive. And, I have already reformated the hard drive, in the last two hours or so, and reinstalled Windows 7 32bit. Now I am just putting everything back, thanks or no thanks to Windows and Microsoft. However, I do appreciate your response. Thank you. |

| | Did reinstalling Windows solve your problem? |

| | Windows 7 aka Vista Yes, so far things are working normally --as normal as you would expect for Microsoft Windows 7. Only time will tell when drivers start to disappear again, for no damn reason other than its Windows!?! |

| | If this happens again, give us a chance to help you and save you from doing another reinstall. I have a feeling the problem was a very simple one - it is more often than you think |
