Please bear with me I'm brain dead this week. I recently had a Nero 8 on the computer and was deleted by mistake. With that I also have no I GUESS drive. i can't watch and DVDs.

I know this is a simple fix but hadn't had the time this week to get things in order.

One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Restart computer.
or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.

What is you operating system? Right click on computer [vista] or my computer [xp/2000] and select manage --> Disk management. Find your dvd-drive and look to see if it has a drive letter. If it doesn't right click on it and select "change drive letter and paths". Select add, make sure "assign the following drive letter: " is selected. Select the drive letter that you want [other than A or B] and then ok. The next available drive letter other than A or B is selected by default. Note that you don't technically have to have d as the drive letter for a cd or dvd drive. Make sure that your drive now has a drive letter and then you can exit the window. If your dvd drive doesn't show up in disk managment follow Broni's instructions.
