Been having this problem for a few months to 6 months or more now
.. when I reboot PC I have 'no problem' in seeing both my DVD-rom
drives in explorer ., BUT after a day or more It won't see the drive
any more unless I reboot ..
now I have tried to uninstall reinstall the dvdrom drives through
deviced manager but days later,, still have to reboot to get it to
'find the drive' so I have to reboot the PC to get it find ..
scenario- The PC can't see the drives to start and see either of the
dvdrom drives ..I have since found out ..I don't have to shut down and restart
PC ., I just have to Log off ... then Log back in.. this clears
the cache that is preventing the PC from finding and playing back my
discs / any discs .. ( finding really is all it has to do) .. the
DVD or any type of CD in either of my dvdrom drives ( I have two.)
.......
My drive letters are I / and J/ ( I /is regular dvd) J drive is
blue ray/combo ., both dvdrom are fairly new and are the LG brand
and both are capable of playing and burning discs . with a quick
log off and log in both drives work wonderful as they should .
except when the PC has been running for a day or so ..
I usually reboot the PC with a week or less but when I need the
dvdrom to work have to reboot sooner ..,
There Has to BE something ,somewhere.. that is not switched on or
switched off for that matter ... .. Even if and when I save to
restore and save the PC when it is running good.. it would still
have to be rebooted ... registry Hack? maybe? I have some various
software programs such as error end .. or Ausololgics rescue both
work wonderful.. this is not a malware problem .
have also tried sfc /scannow no success ....
the attached .jpg shows my harddrives as C and D E drive is my main
drive .. F G H and L drives are a total of almost 850 GB in total
the L drive is an external hardrive 600GB by itself ., The windows
XP pro has new MB (Asrock N68C-GS FX) 12 months old .. Windows XP
Professional SP3/ 4 GB Memory/ AMD Radeon HD 7700 series Video
Card/2.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core ..
any ideas ?? see attached .. this is what the dvdrom should look like when it detects a dvd .. whether it is microsoft install disc .. or a cd or a dvd - any type of disc it what the drives should detect only ....
