Getting annoyed with cd rom driver issues!!
Right ,need some help here people
Got a Inspiron 580 running 7 (64) with an Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7230S ATA Device
Same old story of losing my cd rom drive,due,i think, to trying to install Magic iso which i have now uninstalled..Reinstalled dvd drivers ok but still got the yellow triangle on device manager.uninstalled whole dvd unit booted up etc etc no joy.
Went to msconfig/diagnostic start up and surprise surprise its got 4 removable drives sitting there which are invisible in normal or selective start up.So i presume somehow that thes are hogging the driverto my drive.
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GET RID OF THEM!!!
Short of repair disc(will that work)? or a reinstall:-( what can i do
Thanks :-)

Hi Roopuk,
Those removable drives are probably your flash card readers. In order to fix the "yellow triangle", try the CD/DVD fix link below.
Once that is done, you can use disk management to manually reassign the drive letters of your memory card readers to avoid further conflicts.
