Suddenly lost cd/dvd drives..?
Please can someone help with this???????? I'm having the same problem, however, Device manager will not even find them!! They were working perfect in RC1 until about a week ago, then they just disappeared?? I even thought about going back to XP, but cant find any means of uninstalling RC1 and with no drives, cant just re-install over the top. There is no way I'm going down the Daemon tools/ Alcohol 120% route again. Hope someone can figure this out. Cheers, Lee......... |

Try booting from a cd or dvd, just to test if it isn't a hardware problem...
Does the BIOS find them? "Capriman" wrote in message ... Please can someone help with this???????? I'm having the same problem, however, Device manager will not even find them!!

My CD/DVD drives would disappear in RC1 and loading RC2 brought them back.
While on RC1, I tried the registry hack in a knowledgebase article only to find the registry was corrupt for my CD drive. Again, when I loaded RC2, all it well now with the CD/DVD.
