    I just upgraded one of my old computers to 7; however, for some reason my computer can't find DVD/CD-rom drives. So the DVD drive pretty much doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try to find a firmware update for your optical drive.

    A little more detailed information might enable others to offer suggestions too.

    Good luck.
