DVD drives
Hello All,
ANY help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Gateway (1st problem) FX400XL Desktop Computer that just suddenly stopped recognizing the DVD ROM driver & the DVD RW drives. Can anyone assist me in getting these going again? Gateway support is awful & their support pages just send you in circles.
Best regards,
Kyle-

Hello. CD and DVD drivers pretty standard these days. Generic even. You can go buy CD and DVD drives all day long and install them and they will come right up in Windows.
My latest was a Blue Ray / DVD by Sony because I wanted to watch and copy Blu Ray content (which I own copies of for sure...)
Anyway I did a search on your issue and it seems to be pretty common one. It's never happened to me (knock on wood) but perhaps there some special bad thing you have to do - or virus that you have to get - that mangles the Windows Registry or such. The top article was on Windows XP I believe ... but there were more.
