Title: CD & DVD writer do not write anymore
Post by: toc423 on August 23, 2004, 08:32:53 AM

I had lost my cd & dvd drives earlier.

Quote

I have  a Sony computer. The dvd & cd drives were working fine now they can not be found. They don't show up in the explorer.   They have power to them both.  Any suggestions?

I now have the drives back but I can't  write with them.
