My CD-Drive Disappeared on My Laptop, Help!
Any of you experts know how to make it re-appear again?
I tried the "SystemRestore" thing but no luck.

Thanks
Habibi~

Nevermind.

I did a google search and found a fix online.

If this ever happens to any of you, here's the fix:

1. Click on START button, the click on RUN
2. Enter REGEDIT and press enter
3. When REGEDIT starts, open up the following folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
4. After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"
Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.

Then close REGEDIT, shutdown & restart your PC

Did it break after you put the David Cook CD in?
