DVD drive uninstalled??
Greetings:
I'm running windows Vista on an HP Pavilion. Recently, I went to use my DVD ROM and discovered the icon was missing from "My computer"...... This happened before with XP, and with XP I removed the appropriate Upper and Lower filters in the registry, restarted, and all was well. I tried this with vista and the upper and lower filters were not present. I ran a system profile and found my drive (HL DT ST DVD RAM GH IOL) was listed as uninstalled. Can anyone help with this problem? I would be most grateful for any nfo. -Steve

DVD drive uninstalled??
Again right click computer and select manage, select device manager and disk
drives to see if the DVD drive shows a down arrow meaning it is disabled. If it is, right click it and enable it. "Steve " wrote in message ... Greetings: I'm running windows Vista on an HP Pavilion.

When you start the computer, go into BIOS (hardware) setup mode. Does the
drive show up there? If not it may have a loose connector or may have failed. "Steve " wrote in message ... Greetings: I'm running windows Vista on an HP Pavilion.

It sounds like the drive may have failed,
If you have access to an older computer running XP you might try it there. "Steve " wrote in message ... Greetings: I'm running windows Vista on an HP Pavilion.
