My computer does not recognize my dvd players or cd, how can I fix?

I recently installed a new hard drive, video card, and the new monitor.  Everything seemed to work very well; has been able to see and use the readers; update of all; now a few days later my PC does not show that I have a Dvd or Cd installed.  Shows only an A: drive!

If anyone has experienced this before?

    When you use the application of the training session, choose the type of activity that best fits your business. For anything else - like weight - select the other category.

    During the follow-up of one year to the next helps:

    • Activity app will credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.
    • Active calories will be based on the data recorded by the heart rate sensor or a brisk walk, whichever is greater.

    Note, however, that the heart rate sensor is likely to give better results for the workouts that involve rhythmic (for example running) rather than the irregular movements.

    Hello

    My computer does not recognize the presence of a dvd in one of my two drives, although she acknowledges a CD.  This happens regardless of what dvd I insert.

    Thank you very much

    Folders.dbx is probably damaged.

    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    The path to the message will be very similar to this:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

    With OE closed, find the Folders.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Note these possible side effects:

    When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. However, understand that you will lose the mail directory structure and message rules will probably have to be edited.

    Spybot SD resident and professional SAS are not enough.

    If you have been affected by malicious software, the best way to get help is by identifying. Bleeping Computer has created guides large removal on their site, for Trojan horses, etc. (I hope so, Debbie C think not I just spammed forum, which goes against the "Code of conduct").

    Once you get all set (and may require a clean install), you must make sure that you have all the latest Micorosft XP patches security installed. In addition, a quality anti-virus program like Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir (both free) are essential (hope that is not considered spam, either).
