My DVD drive is gone?!!

[MadsBP]

Thats like... ALOT of time ago xD

Usually when you do a restart as soon as you see the first screen start pressing F2 key, that should take you into bios, then use the arrow keys and the enter key to see if the cdrom drive is set to auto. to get out do esc save changes enter and your done

I know i know i know. I have been in bios alot of times before... But where do i see if its working or what ever? What's it called???

Use RevoUninstaller and uninstall DameonTools.

My 'next to last resort'

here it says: 3. Place your Windows 7 installation DVD into the DVD drive, while still in Windows 7 (Step 1), and click on the Run setup.exe option in the AutoPlay window from within the currently installed Windows 7.

Place your Windows 7 installation DVD into the DVD drive???

Is this a desktop or laptop ?

I'm not sure if this will fix it but at this point it's worth a try,

Remember to right click and run as admin, see if it finds and fixes any corrupt files from your uninstall of Daemon Tools.

You're welcome, It would also help if you could give us as much info about your desktop as you can.

What brand, model number, the more info we have the better.

 

[DocBrown]

OK, turn OFF desktop computer, disconnect data & power cables from DVD drive. Turn ON computer, power all the way up to your windows desktop. Then shut down computer to OFF. Re-connect Data & Power cables to DVD drive. Now turn ON computer again, be connected to the internet. Let windows possibly re-install DVD drive.

 

[MadsBP]

well i can hold down the windows boutton and press pause?


is that good?

 

[MadsBP]

Here is how i got it plugged in. Is it right? am i missing some cabels? telle me!

 

[DocBrown]

Yes that looks correct for an IDE DVD drive. There is also a small jumper in the 6 pin area.

Ma = Master (primary) optical drive
SL = Slave (Secondary) optical drive
CS or DS = Cable select ( selected by connector position on flat ide cable)

 

[MadsBP]

so you mean i should connect the small jumper in the 6 pin area?

 

[DocBrown]

It should have a jumper in one of the 3 positions.

check this info

:ar: Jumper Settings for the Installation of Hard Disks and CD, CDRW, and DVD Drives - HP technical support (United Kingdom - English)

 

[MadsBP]

ehm, i dont see how it will help? i mean. Isn't this just how it should look like?



1 - IDE ribbon cable and connection
2 - power cable connection

 

[DocBrown]

The little plastic jumper needs to be in at least one of the 3 positions. Best choice is probably SL = slave . Do you have any other IDE optical or Hard Drives connected to this computer ?
