Hardware ID Missing fault with DVD drive, even when replaced DVD.
Hi
Was getting the following error: "Hardware ID Missing, Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the ATA Controller 0"
To date I have carried out the following actions with no success:
1. Removed DVD and re-connected
2. Deleted ATA Controller 0 in Manage Device Manager and rebooted
3. Installed the latest driver and rebooted
4. Removed all motherboard connections and re-connected
5. Purchased replacement DVD drive and replaced
The DVD opens/closes correctly. When I boot into BIOS the DVD is present but listed as this in the Boot Menu:
CD/DVD \S[TKozp)CLD^D_ \S-L>3:H(-(PM)
God only knows what that means, but could be a good clue!!!
If anyone could please help it would be appreciated, many thanks in advance..
