uninstall it from the device manager and reboot and see if it is ok after windows reinstalls
CD/DVD ROM Problem
I have lost my designated drive letters. They are recognized as HP DVD Writer 300n and ASUS CD 5480/AH. The first clue somthing was wrong when I tried to burn a cd and I got an error in the burning telling me the process wasnt able to be compleated. I found this to be odd so I just tried it again thinking maybe it
was some one time thing, (with a different cd) and got the same problem, at that time I was burning a data cd so I tried again to burn an audio cd using a
different program, (the first was the windows writeable folder, the second was
windows media player) but it wasnt showing a drive and by then I knew there was somthing wrong, so I shut down the computer and tried again. Again no drive letters and I look in the Device Manager and it shows the Hp DVD Writer is
disabled, try to enable and it doesnt work. I checked the cords in the back of
the dvd rom after shutting it down and everything was secure. Please help me.

i lost both th e dvd rom drive and the dvd burner. it did not come up when you clicked on "My Computer". i got help from compaq, not over the phone(no help there, someone in India), but i used their online realtime help. there's a simple fix(a small computer program), or you can do it manually by deleting 2 items from your registry. i forget what they were. you should back up your registry before you do this. they walked me through this online. it was real smooth. later i found the program on somebody's web sight(i forgot it also),that deletes the two items automatically. the whole problem started when i was started to burn something with a program running in the background. i pressed cancel to stop the burn and lost the drivers for both drives. it's a simple fix once you find the technique. it's out there it took me a while to track it down.
