Re: DVD drive missing

Make sure you have a bac-up of your important files before attempting to touch your registry, at least, if you are not familiar with it.

Make a restore point before trying it or make a back-up of your registry.

Follow the instructions to a "T", the alternative is not a pretty sight!
