No "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" category in Device Manager.

It just isn't there, and as a result, my CD drives don't seem to be working, although my BIOS seems to detect them well enough. Help?

Do you think it would help to give a few clues about the system? See below.

I am assuming you have not added any new hardware or played about in the BIOS. If that is not the case, please tell us what you did.

We answer this question at least weekly. A forum search can be helpful, but have a read here:
