Hey. My dvd drive isn't showing up in my My Computer section. It opens up and everything, so it isn't the power cable. When I put a disk in, it doesn't auto-run or anything, so I think the computer just thinks it's wierd. It's not like I just added it or anything, either, it's worked fine for a few years and then it just up and stops working. Anyone know how to get it working again? BTW my OS is Windows XP Pro.
Thanks,
Justin
