Optical Drive Problems

by dymgarcia . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I don’t know if this is the right place to place this question, but I couldn’t find where else to present the problem
I have a problem. Both optical drives on My machine have dissappeared.
They are not seen by my Bios either
I’ve read every forum I can find and they all say the same thing ” delete the upper and lower filters” which I have done to no avail.The problem started will using Nero, and every time I’ve had this problem Nero has been involved in one way or another, yet I can’t seem to find any articles that address the problem of how to really tackle this problem.
Computer magazines write all sorts of articles from how to format a hard-drive to just about anything you can think of EXCEPT how to rid Yourself of this most annoying problem which I think, everybody runs into at one time or another.
Nero is going to deny that they are at fault, but hey, the chance of both Your optical drives failing at the same time while using Nero is like getting hit by two separte bolts of lightning at the same time also.
If the optical drive has been made to fail by the software, then just what did it do to it to make it fail and how can it be fixed and prevented?.If the problem is driver related, then what do you really have to do to fix the problem without having to be a programmer?
Does anybody know?
