Missing CD/DVD Drive
Hi,
I have an Acer machine running Vista Home Premium with SP2. The machine is now two years old has been working fine until recently. I am finding that the DVD drive does not appear in My Computer or Device Manager when the machine is restarted after being in Sleep mode. The drive can be restored by doing a Shut Down. I have found a few similar problems in this forum but the reports were not exactly the same so I am reluctant to follow the suggested solution of editing the Registry in case it does more harm than good. Any ideas please? |
