No cd/dvd drive in BIOS after upgrade 32XP to 64 Seven
My first post! It seems like there are several versions of this problem out there, here is mine:
I just did a clean install of 7 Ultimate 64 bit using an upgrade disk on my Dell Inspiron 1545. I had been running XP 32 bit service pack 3. Everything is working fine, except my cd/dvd burner does not appear in devices in the 7 interface, and neither does it appear in BIOS. I may have made a mistake by not using windows easytransfer--I selected the files I wanted to bring over manually with a flash drive. It have power and will open and close fine, if a little slowly but it might be my imagination.
Can anybody help me with my next move? Do I need to go buy an external?
