[CD/DVD drive disappeared]

Piece of... how did it suddenly disconnect? I have not been shaking it around or anything.

 

Nevermind. HP will come and fix it soon. At least they can't tell me that imgburn must be the problem.

 

Thanks guys.

Done all of the above suggestions, no change. The open/close button is not working, does this indicate that it's a hardware problem?

[CD/DVD drive disappeared]

Hi,

 

I installed imgburn yesterday, sucessfully ripped a CD image, happily burned a DVD image... and then lost my drive. It's no longer shown in explorer, not detected in the device manager and not found by imgburn. The drive made a brief reappearance the first time I went looking for it in the device manager, but didn't seem to be operational. At least I couldn't access its properties. Anyway, it disappeared again shortly after.

 

I searched the forum, I understand it might have something to do with filter drivers and DMA in windows XP, so I uninstalled (and reinstalled) my IDE controllers as per the FAQ, with no effect. The list of my filter drivers is below:
