| 783829 | 2009-06-19 23:15:00 | Hi Everyone... have a slight problem.. I have a Asus DRW-22B1L and it was working fine yesterday, but today morning in My computer, it didnt display the D: Drive. All it showed was the C:/ Drive. I checked in Device amanger, cant even find a section for the optical drive. I have Windows Vista Home Premium BTW Just checked in Nero 8 DiscSpeed. It says no CD-ROM drive found Help? |

| 783830 | 2009-06-19 23:28:00 | run system restore back to yesterday - see if it shows. In Vista - click start orb, type in restore, Select system Restore (when it opens - may take a short while) either go with the restore point selected or choose a different restore point -- Click Next - follow prompts through. |

So what could be the problem? And System Restore, will i lose my files that I just made today? |

If you run system restore back to when it was working yesterday that will eliminate a software problem, it will put the OS system files back to how they were, something may have become corrupted, then if it still doesn't show as pctek advised - a possible drive problem. No you wont lose any documents, emails that have been created - only items that will change is any programs you installed, or downloaded/removed. |

| 783835 | 2009-06-20 04:28:00 | Could be something not waking up right this morning, or something loose and bumping around knocked back into position. Could be because the rugby's on tonight :D ---Who knows |
