Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1545.
For a while now my disk drive has not worked. Putting a disk in does nothing, the box asking what I want to do doesn't appear and it doesn't show up in My Computer.
I had a look in Device Manager and it's there, clicking plus brings up what my disc drive is called I assume (Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7580S driver) which a little yellow triangle and a ! on the icon for it.
Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this? Or is my disc driver irreparable?
Thank you so much for your help.
 
Go back to Device Manager and Right click on your CD Drive and click "update driver software", if you have upto date drivers then your laptop needs looking at. Usually though updating drivers does the job

all the best
