Maybe someone can help me. My dvd rom is seen in my bios but not in windows under my computer. The funny thing is that it worked when I first put it in during a upgrade but I had conflicts with the nvidia firewall and network manager which screwed up my system. I did a fresh install leaving off the 2 programs and now the dvd rom is not seen in windows :x If there is anyone out there that can help me please point me in the right direction. I sucks having to exchange disks out of the same drive while backing up my personal copies of dvd's :roll:
Thanks for the help

Go into Disk Management and see if there's an optical drive with no drive letter assigned to it.
