[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 1996913, member: 209373"] Optical Drives are actually..peripherals..that are Plug&Play.. === If you Shut-down your PC..and pull the AC-cord from the rear of the PC.. ..wait about 1-minute before opening the Side Cover-- === Once inside the PC-Tower(case)..be sure there are NO LED's lit/ ..pull the wires from the rear of the Optical Drive.. Place the case Cover back in place..and re-plug the AC-cord.. Hit the Pwr. Button and get to your Desktop.. ..allow the PC..to fully load.. ..and Shut-Down..once more.. === Once again..pull the AC-cord from the rear of the PC.. ..wait 1-minute.. Open the CASE-cover..be sure that NO LED's are lit../ Re-Plug..the Optical Drive..close the case-cover once more..re-plug the rear AC-cord..and RESTART the PC.. This should reload the Plug&Play Drivers for Optical Drives in Windows[tm]OS's/ === Be very careful when pulling the Flat-data-Cables..they can be broken from the long connector/plastic part.. === Maybe you have already ruined the Flat-data-Cable...because you have pulled it so many times..I THINK..you would have noticed that.. === If that does not help..just buy a new Optical Drive.
