Hi
Can someone please help me

My d-drive(cd/dvd) just went missing. It was OK when I last used it few days ago. When I go to my computer, its not there. Checked device manager-also not listed. However, "physical d-drive" is OK - I can put in a disc & the indicator light flashes when I reboot.

Tried to reformat but couldnt get system to boot fr D drive before C. Went into BIOS setup(I have a ASUSP4S800MX motherboard) - under Boot Menu - there is no ATAPI CD rom listed.

I noticed that on reboot - it has msg "Hardware Manager " found error.
Then shows "Detecting - Primary Slave, Secondary Master & Secondary Slave - NONE

Have check many forums on related issue but no identical problem so far.

My A drive is oK.

I'm on XP Home and has a TEAC DWTE-W58GA-K Dvd drive

What's wrong!!!!
