Max™ Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Remove it and The secondary IDE channel from Device manager. Thats found by right clicking my computer > properties. Its in there somewhere.After that, reboot. It will redetect and install them again so might solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wando Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) ^Good to hear but something miraculous happened I called the place where I bought the machine to get a new cd drive for free (warranty) but called for wrong person in the company and the right person didn't answer so I started my computer and the cd player works again Edited October 19, 2007 by Wando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
