my DVD ROM IS NOT DETECTED BY THE COMPUTER HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N

Download microsoft fixit from http://www.ziddu.com/download/6528022/MicrosoftFixit50027.msi.html and install it in your pc ,once its finished jst restart your pc and see it will work

the DVD is bad, or your firmware is not up to date, you also have to have a DVD Decoder in order to watch DVD's on a computer

optiarc ad-5170a is for dvd-rw only

Make sure the cd your inserting is not scrachted or has fingerprints on it. If it's a clean cd then your cd rom is most likely broken.

uninstall the drivers and reinstall if nothing then the dvd rom is junk. get a new one. Check E-Bay

Try replacing your cable or at least unplugging it on both sides then plugging it back in.

Go to your system properties under control panel and uninstall the driver pertaining to your interface. When you reboot it will ask you to reinstall. Sometimes it will start reinstalling right away. That's fine. There is no rollback for just a driver. It's a system rollback they were talking about.

If problem persists with functional cables and functional drive then it's probably your motherboard.
