DVD Drives not Being Picked Up

[bigfella04]

Hi all,

My first post so please take it easy!

Had cause to swap out two dud dvd drives, LG branded ones.

Since installing the two replacements, also LG ones, all I am seeing listed under device manager is "CD ROM Drive". I used to be able to see the make/model etc of the drive before, but not any more. I have tried to update driver, remove, reinstall but they still show up as just a CD Drive.

Under My Computer, they are listed DVD RW Drive, which is fine, and also they read/write a-ok.

Can anyone shed why this could be?

Its Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit version.

Many thanks
