    Laptop problem with CD/DVD combo drive

    I have uninstalled an unkown version of Daemon tools, (earlier this year) an ever since my cd-RW/dvd drive has not always been showing up in my computer as if i don't have a cd/dvd drive at all!
    I still have acsess to my C drive, and any other devices i plugin through USB or whateva. But when i start up my laptop, about only 1 times in 4 or so my CD-RW/DVD drive shows up. If i put a CD or DVD in the drive when the icon isn't in my computer, nothin happens and i havent found a solution. How can i get my CD/DVD combo drive to work every time I start up??
    -I have Windows XP Priofessional service pack 2 Version 2002
    -I have a program called "drag'n drop CD+DVD" as burning software.
    -ive never used easy cd creator
    -My computer is a Toshiba A100, with pentium m, 1.4 ghz, 496mb of ram.
    thnx, matt

    Try reinstalling your cd-drive (device manager).

      If safe mode, under device manager erase your optical drives and then reboot in normal mode.

        i cant find anything to do with cd/dvd drives or drivers in device manager. theyve completely disapeared. i cant istall it again as "new hardware" because the computer doesn't find it. perhaps i should find a program on the net which can reset my drivers or sumething??my cd/dvd drive is not working at all now.
        any ideas would be greatly apreciated.

          Have same problem

          My drive start spinning and changes apperance - but indicates 0 byte on disk and I can't do anything with it. If I insert the bay after re-boot everything works as normal. Have also unistalled everything. Any suggestions is welcome.

            since ive wiped my hardisk and reinstalled windows, the problem still occurs, however it is not as frequent now. maybe 1 in 8 times. however the problem is still there which would suggest that this may be hardware related.

              Not so sure

              Have same problem, found that Nero system tools said: System ASPI corrupt (Nero ASPI ok). And I actually have two identical systems - same problem with both.
