    Hello,
    after reinstalling w7(using USB) dvd drive does not appear in "My computer" anymore(Can't find it in Device manager it either). In addition when my notebook is booting I get DELL's warning that some drive can not be identified(and it does not state which), so I have to press Esc to skip that warning so I can successfully boot my windows 7 up.
    My dvd drive doesn't take in any CD's/DVD's anymore.
    Any ideas how to bring it back?
    Dell xps m1530.
