So my cd/dvd drive doesn't show up on my computer. I have a dell

inspiron 5315 desktop. I searched the forum here and found nothing that

worked. I tried to uninstall it from my device manager but it would

reinstall itself upon reboot, i tried to delete my upper and lower

registries for the drive but I don't have lower registry for that. I

also checked my autoplay settings but everything was fine there.



I don't know what else to do, please help.

Have you tried going to the makers website and getting the latest firmware

for it? Flash it with that and often that does the trick.

I had trouble finding one that worked. One of them told me that my

drive wasn't connected (I check the cables to be sure). My drive is:

A common bug.

So I still haven't found anything that has worked. I think it may be the

sata interface that's not working. I'm going to have it repaired.



Thanks everyone for all of your help.
