DVD burner now showing in windows or device manager
Hi
for some strange reason the DVD writer; CDRW is not showing up in windows or in device manager. Inserting a DVD has no reaction whatsoever from the laptop.
i have tried says file checker , looked for the relevant upper registry entries, but found none. Have unplugged and reinserted the CDRW just in case.. also ran the hardware troubleshooter.
i desperation I have wiped the HDD and clean installed W10 Home 32 BIT. But made no difference.
i the device manager there isn’t even a heading for CD / DVD/RW, thought this should be there even if unpopulated !!!
any help would really be appreciated
UPDATE
found an old post similar to mine, tried deleting IDE channels 0 and 1 but avian made no difference....
