Hi everyone. Ok, I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop with a basic CD-RW / CD-R / DVD-ROM drive. Recently, I've noticed its sorta, not reading stuff. Now, the laptop isn't that old....... maybe a little under a year and I don't burn much cd's with it. Would the burner be going out already? Because, when I put a CD in, it won't autoplay or nothing, the CD icon won't even change when I'm in My Computer. But when I double click the CD icon, it'll open and show me on the cd. And it won't even detect if I have a CD-RW in the drive so it won't let me format it, erase it or nuthin.

Jump to PostYep...It is still installed.
There are few to none of those type of hardware items that need specific drivers. You can pop it in and out without worries :mrgreen:
