Hi,

I have noticed that my CD/DVD drive is not being recognised.
When I insert any a CD or DVD the disk spins but it is not shown in my computer.

I have checked the connections and they are firmly connected.

the make and model is:

AOpen, CD/DVD Rewritable drive
Model no. DUW1616/ARR
P/N: 91.4ID37.273
S/N: 52816653JE B

Any suggestions please

Regards

Vinnie

Hi,
I will check tomorrow as I'm not on the troubled PC and let you know the outcome.

Thanks

Vinnie

I have checked the BIOS and cannot see it, is there a specific place I should be looking ?

Re: Cd/dvd drive not recognised

where it lists your h/drive

the plugs on the cable may be loose,or the cable may be faulty

Re: Cd/dvd drive not recognised

It is all working now, I reconnected the drive using another connector from the same data cable and also another power connector.

Thank you very much for your help, you guys at tech support are great.
