    Hi,

    I've reinstalled my laptop and all the drivers but i cannot turn off the DVD Drive using Power Options.

    In the Status Monitor, i see all the ILink, DVD etc and they all say Available but when i double click on the DVD drive for example, it takes me to the Power Options Advance Settings but i don't see the option to turn on\off the drive in battery or plugged in.

    Am i missing something or a driver?

    TIA.
