help needed - e: drive disappeared
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista.
About a month ago my DVD R/W drive (compact disk rewritable Ultra Speed) stopped showing up under "My Computer", the device manager only shows 1 drive (ST980811AS ATA Device).
I can no longer play CDs/DVDs.
Does anyone have any tips on how to troubleshoot?
Regards,
Laura

Rebooting will sometime help. I had all the usb, card readers disappear and it was a bad motherboard. Connections would work when PC was cool, but as soo as it warmed up, they stopped working. Leaving the cover off helped for 6 months till they stopped again. Replacement motherboard was more than new PC.
