Re: dvd drive no longer recognized

Did you try the manual steps documented here (scroll down the page): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 ?

If yes and it did not help, try booting from CD/DVD drive using a good/working bootable CD/DVD media. If BIOS cannot see the drive or if computer cannot boot from CD/DVD drive then it is possible that your CD/DVD drive is dead.
