    Hello everyone, new member and my first post.
    My HP dv6000 laptop has suddenly lost the settings for the DVD/CD drive.
    It is not appearing on the system and CD burning software confirms it is not available. I have swapped it out with no improvement, my drive was put in another Hp and was recognised and the drive from the other machine was not recognised in my machine. I have tried a system restore just in case but no luck so far. Does anyone have any ideas please before the rest of my hair is on the floor...
    Regards

    :confused:
    Forgot to mention that I upgraded from Vista to Win 7 (32bit) but I dont think this is the problem as it has been running well for a few months.
