Hi

I got a Acer Travelmate 7730 with Vista Business with Service Pack 2.
I have 4gig ram with the 32 bit OS.

I dont recall anything out of the ordinary but when I checked my computer, my CD/DVD does not show up.
I tried going to device manager and nothing shows up. I tried scanning for new hardware and nothing.
I thought maybe the drive was banged and the connections got out but when I press the open button the green light comes on and the drive opens and closes normally except for the fact nothing shows up in my computer and I cant watch dvd's etc.

I googled the net and I tried all the mentioned solutions.
(delete upper and lower filters etc)



Nothing works.

Can anyone who got any advice/help please help me as I am desperate! :(
 
Hmm another one bites the dust.

I have the acer aspire 7220, dvd drive failed 2 weeks after purchasing!! They replaced it for free
 
is this not a drivers issue ? maybe just re-load or update drivers?
