| Hello Bruce,
|
| Try this:
|
| Fix for missing DVD/CD drives.
|
| Go to Start => Run and type in regedit
|
| Navigate to
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class
| and select the key{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
|
| Go to File => Export
| In the Export Registry File dialog box, select 'Selected Branch' under
| Export Range; give the file a name, and 'Save' to save the file to the
| Desktop.
|
| Next ...
|
| Copy the text below between the dotted lines, but not the dotted lines
| themselves. Open Notepad and paste it in. Save the result in a
| suitable location as drives.reg - making sure that the default .txt
| extension doesn't appear in the file name (Save as type = All Files).
| Double-click on the saved .reg file to merge the contents.
| Restart.
