Hi Sandi,
It's a new computer- Gateway with Windows XP. Nothing was happening;
no light came on, nothing was being read in the drive, and it didn't
show up under My Computer or under Device Manager. Funny thing is - it
was showing up before. I don't know if I clicked on something to make it
go away by accident or what. I tried to reboot a few times, still didn't
come back. But my husband told me the next day after completely shutting
down the computer and turning it on again, it came back. Does that make
any sense?
Lisa

Does the light come on and flash when you put in a disk? If not check
or swap the power connection. Is this a new installation? More info
needed. :-)

I have two CD Rom drives- the first one is a CDR/DVDR combo drive. The
second one is a CD Rom drive. The CD Rom drive doesn't show up under
MyComputer and it isn't working. Does anyone know why that would happen
or how to get it back? Thanks.
