Thanks mate
I have been on there and gone through all the drop down list relating to the Aspire 5100 series and i cannot see anything which may be a CD/DVD driver unless anyone can tell me which one it may be.
Thanks

Right click 'my computer' then select properties and go into device manager.
Can you see it under DVD/CD Rom drives? If so right click>>properties. What is the status of the device?

Start Menu > Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management. This Should bring up all the drives that are on your computer. Is your dvd drive showing?

Unplug the drive while your laptop is swithched on and plug it back in, then go to add and remove hardware and add it using the wizard.

Hi
Sorry for late reply.
Icannot find the stuff in programs as suggested and further to that i dont think i am confident to un do a laptop to do the last post as rthe warranty will be void.
So any more suggestions?
Thanks in advance
