Computer: Dell Inspiron 531s OS: Windows Vista Home Basic
So I did a little investigating and found that the CD-ROM drive didn't show up on "My Computer" either.
I then decided to go check out my Device Manager.
As you'll see in the attached image of my Device Manager, the CD/DVD drive is under the "Other Devices" category.
I have tried deleting the Upper and Lower filter registries, then rebooting. That didn't do anything.
I also tried uninstalling the drive and rebooting. That didn't help either.
I'd also like to point out that it is showing up as an SCSI, but it is actually an SATA.
My BIOS recognizes it as SATA though.
Please Help!
