I have been away from my pc for months and upon comming back I was surprised to find out my dvdrom has stopped working. Despite the fact the green light is on and that I can open it up and put dvds/games etc into the drive it still fails to work.
On my computer there is not icon for the dvd drive, only the c-drive and non existing floppy disk drive, also there is no autorun like before.
I'm a complete novice at computers so I know very little (don't even know how to get onto bios). I'm wanting to learn, so any help would be fantastic in resolving my issue.
PC specs:
OS: xp, ver 5.1 sp3
bios:ami
mobo: asus p58 (Image | Hardware Secrets)
dvdrom: Model no: DVD8900, Part No: 3B43216076, DVD+R DL
Having a look at the computer's guts, all the wires and connections seem to be in place.
thanks
