My CD/ROM Drive keeps disappearing
Hi,
I am new to the forums but have seen a few posts whilst trying to fix my problem. You seem like a helpful bunch :) so I decided to join up.
I regularly google if I have a computer problem I cannot sort myself. Please accept my apologies if the solution to my question has already been answered but I cannot find a solution.
I was running Windows Vista 32bit on my Dell Inspiron 1545. I then decided to install Windows 7. I installed the 64bit version. Everything seemed ok apart from my CD/ROM drive. It works now and again but will suddenly disappear. I have seen people saying clean it but I dont think this is necessary as it worked a treat on Windows Vista. I tried to burn a disc in Windows Media Player but it says "connect a burner & restart the player". I have tried deleting the filters in the regedit. I have this morning re-installed Windows 7 but instead installed the 32bit version hoping this would solve the problem. I am tempted to put Vista back on the machine
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jay
