Morphling · 03-21-2008, 11:11 AM

I'm not any good at Tech problems so please just bare with me.My CD drive is missing from My computer and i have tried the registry solution but i cant complete the steps because when i reach the registry path i don't have the upper filters and lower filters to delete.
In case anyone wants to see the link for the registry solution, it is here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

Does it show up in your device manager, if so uninstall it and reboot. If not Check your IDE or Sata cable to make sure it pluged in good.

Thanks for helping everyone but i found a solution.Yesterday i found out that it was missing from device manager. So this morning when i turned on my computer i went to device manager and at the top i clicked "Action" next to "File". Then i clicked "search for hardware changes" and then it said at the bottom "new hardware found" and installed it and my CD drive is back.

That's what I mean about you being immature. What was the point of that post? Was it helpful at all? NO

Glad you got it working. Sometimes Windows just has a bad habit of just (losing things).
