| | Vista killing my DVD/CDROM Drives? What's up? I downloaded the newest build for Vista 2 days ago and installed it on a test laptop that I have. I was wanting to check out the Bitlocker feature so after getting it up and running I decided to start over and partition the drives the right way ahead of time. I went to reload Vista and got an error during the Copying files portion of the install. No problem I thought, just cut it off and start over and see what happens. Well when the PC booted back up, it didnt see the Vista DVD in the drive and of course since I had formatted the hard drive, it did have anything to boot. So, after a while of playing with it, I put the original hard drive back in the laptop and booted it up with Windows XP. XP shows the DVD/CD drive but wont recognize any CD or DVD. So I took another DVD/CD drive out of a laptop that was exactly the same and it worked fine in XP. I then continued to load Vista. Got the same thing and the same issue again. Even tried yet another DVD/CD drive and now none of them will recognize any disks whether it be on boot up or in XP... Any ideas??? -- Thanks for your help! Ben |
