Hi,

My DVD burner isn't showing in my computer.
I'm using the LG GSA-4167B, which shows up in the BIOS and in the device manager, without any errors or yellow exclamation marks.
I tried uninstalling the driver, but windows just installs it again on reboot, I think its using a windows driver, not a unique one.
Is there a windows service that detects it? A while ago I dissabled some unneeded services for performance reasons.
It was working fine a few weeks ago, then today when I tried to use it it wasn't showing up, I don't use it often so I don't know exactly when it vanished and what happened around that time.
I have recently installed a new SoundBlaster X-Fi, but I doubt that would've caused it.
How can I fix it?

Thanks
