DVD Is No Show

[imajica]

My DVD no longer shows up anwhere: My computer, Device Mgr, nor BIOS.

First it would show up & then disappear; leaving an event in the system log. Then @ runtime, it would not show up leaving an event in the system log stating cd driver had failed to load.

Now it is nowhere, but is powered.

Would you post the event in the system log? Fabe

It no longer shows up anywhere, including the sys log.

Welcome to Windows 7 forum,
imajica, from your spec it appears that this is a custom build? If so what brand of dvd is installed and how is it connected?

Its a custom build; the DVD is: LG - 22x Internal Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive, it's on SATA 1.

When the system is shutdown I can unplug & replug the drive, & it will show up for a couple of days before pulling the old houdini again.

Does the dissapearing act after an update?

No, far as I can tell it's random.
