Lg dvd burners not shown in computer

[spunkee]

I have 2 dvd drives fitted & they both worked fine, untill yesterday when h.d. had to be reformatted.
Neither drive shows up anywhere on puter but they do open & close.
They were fitted by techs so no problem there.
My puter is new & has vista.

Check the data cable.
PATA or SATA?
Make sure they are recognized in the bios.

Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
