For the last week or so I have noticed that my CD burner drive is missing in the folder MY COMPUTER. (I'm using windows xp) I didnt really pay much attention to it because I didnt need to use it.. but last night I needed to burn all my stuff off of my computer but my computer keeps saying that my CD burner is not there.
I put a blank CD in the drive and the orange light appears but then after it is shut... the light disappears and thats it. It doesnt do anything. I havent done anything different... so why did the drive disappear to begin with?! I'm not good with hardware so i'm just guessing that maybe the drive went bad? I opened up the computer and everything looks connected.
When you do into device manager... my CD burner drive has a big RED X over it... meaning its disabled. It will not allow me to enable it either. Anyone have ideas?
