CD/DVD Driver missing.

[eranga262154]

Hi all,

I have a lenovo 3000 C100 laptop. From the last evening I can't find the cd/dvd driver on Explorer/My Computer. Only I can see all my partitions and Shared and User document folders.

Once I found that issue, restart the laptop. Then after next bootup the laptop I got the same issue. Again restart the laptop, but that time I don't have luck. I tried it few times but failed.

I can open the tray.

You have any idea for me.

cd/dvd driver

Do you mean the CD Drive Icon?

[Siddharth Rout]

few thing that you can do... (I am assuming that the drive is connected properly and there are no loose connections...)

1) Take a look at the disk Manager by typing diskmngt.msc in the Start>Run box. See if you have a conflict there or try to reorganize the dirve letters/types and reboot.

2) Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager and check if you have a resource conflict. Also check if you can see the CD/DVD Drive installed and if installed what is the name it's showing.. Also check If it is installed, does it have a yellow "!" or red X next to it?

EDIT

If you don't have all the drivers then downlod them from here

In continuation to step 2 above if you see a yellow "!" or red X next to it you can then update the drivers

Hope this helps...

if you have a ! next to the drive in the hardware list, it may be a filter issue caused by burning software. I've seen this a bunch of times. do a google. There's a key you delete.

Do you mean the CD Drive Icon?

[Lord Orwell]

I found one thing suddenly. I see the yellow color ! sign with the driver in Device Manager. Then I update the driver. After updating it, I can't see it. What can be the issue is....

[Lord Orwell]

well if you update and the ! is gone, it fixed that problem. Since it's not showing up anywhere else, have you checked to see if it's showing up in the bios?

[eranga262154]

Ah, I've forget that. I check it and see.

[Lord Orwell]

well let us know!

[eranga262154]

Sure, just after going home I'll check it and let it know to you pal. I want to solve this problem as much as possible.
