    Yes, Windows should have detected it when Windows started up and reinstalled it.

    What is the Status in the Device Manager? Does it have an error code or show as working OK?

    With what has been done, I would suspect something has happened to that drive.

    i went to the intel web site and clicked on download drivers with the Intel Driver Update Utility . this failed. it told me possible web browser compatibility , firewall or installation issues detected ?? after this failed i tried this again using internet explorer but no joy.

    After reconsidering, I don't think reinstalling the chipset drivers will help this one. I suspect a hardware failure in the drive. Unfortunately the only way to prove the drive is the problem is to replace it with a known good drive.

    I would suspect the Laser intensity is the problem. DVD's require more Laser intensity than a CD. If the Laser intensity drops, as I suspect, its time for a new drive.
