cd drive isn’t responding..
August 2nd, 2016
I tried restart/shutdown. no luck
this awkard it was working fine yesterday I think it might be a driver that is currupted?..
any tips on how to fix this :
well mate have you tried a different CD
that happens sometimes if the CD is messed up
you may be right about the driver
try going into device manager and then reinstall the driver
post back with resuls please
if you cant see the cd rom icon in my computer then:
turn off your pc, open the case, pull out the cd rom wires out, turn on your pc and turn it off after it loads. then connect the wires and give it a try.
this is what i do when my cd rom dissapears

no drivers for my drves the HP site said, i followed your instructions, still no luck.
now that I think of it, last time i opened my box was to see if my fans were dusty, I untangled the floppy drive wire,then reconnected it.. maybe i screwed something up when i done that.
[edited] fixed typos
unplug the hdd and cd rom wires and plug them again, maybe you plugged them in the wrong places
didnt touch the hdd cord thats in correctly. I took out the cd rom/dvd cord and replaced it. still no luck, I think ill get someone to look over it for me, im not good at the pc stuff.
thnx for the time & help m8
oh ok. then reinstalling windows will be the best thing. or you have to find the drivers!
no problem
Is you CD drive being detected in bios ? (tap the required key, usually ‘Delete’, as soon as you power on your PC)
If not, then you need to check the cabling and connections or try another drive..

Yes they show up in the bios, the cables are in correctly from what i can tell
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD-ROM Drivers. Then get Driver Genius Professional and download new drivers for you machine. You can get it from the forum or from this link:
http://~ Dead file host ~/files/70444546/Driver.Genius.2007.Professional.v7.1.622.Incl.Keymaker.WORKING-EMBRACE.zipInstall the drivers and restart your PC. See if it changes anything. Good luck mate ^_^
