DVD-ROM drive works, but does not appear in 'Computer' and discs can be played
I totally messed up my DVD - ROM drive. After graduating the famous blue screen of death once yesterday and once today, I thought that my PC settings reset would fix the problem. Then, I pressed F2 when my computer starts and resets all settings. Unforunately, this is something serious to my DVD - ROM drive. Initially, it did not work, so I opened my computer and somehow got it works. But now, it does not detect the disks I insert in there. I get the message "no DVD - ROM drive found."
Anyone know if it's fixable? I hope I don't have to take my computer somewhere for repair. Unforunately, I don't know the make or model of the hard drive. My the PC features that I think are important are listed below.
I watch this thread, so if I'm on my PC I will be notified by email of responses.
Characteristics of the computer:
Model: Dell Dimension E520
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
Video card: ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO

Windows 7 backup works, but does not appear in the backup and restore control panel
I have Windows 7 Pro and have had a running backup on a network drive for a couple of years now. So far it has worked well.
Recently, my wife asked me to postpone this off-peak hours and I went directly to the Task Scheduler and update annex it. I also had to modify the scheduled task to wake up my laptop computer to perform the backup.Now, after making these changes, I can see the event log that the backup started at time exact (01:00) he succeeded 30 minutes later. I can also see on my network drive that it saved at the right time and the registry keys indicate the location of the network right. However, when I go in the backup and restore control panel, he told me to "backup Windows has not been setup" (which previously he would show me the network location and the last backup time and the other at the request of autonomy.)I know that backups are still viable can I do a restore to the correct network location and properly, it shows me that I have backups on this drive. So, why the backup and restore screen is now showing me that no backup copy has been put up any ideas?I'm a little worried that this change to the schedule has whacked a key somewhere that is using the backup and restore screen and finally the backups will fail and I don't notice unless I am constantly reviewing the event logs (which, for domestic use, isn't it convenient for me).Tim,

CD/DVD drive works, but does not read the CD
Upgrade to Windows 7, last week. All right. In the past days, have been ripping the CD for my MP3 player. Tonight, the CD/DVD stopped reading media. I can see the drive in Windows Explorer. When I click on the drive icon in the WinExplorer, the drawer opens for loading; However, when I insert a CD and close the drawer, read access / the light blinks but nothing to indicate that the CD is actually read. CD new no scratches. Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?
If this is a brand new CD, the CD's may be defective or your disk may need an update of firmware to understand a new type of media.
The laser may be dirty or co - is told in passing is not.
