I just installed a fresh Vista home premium in my pc. The DVD drive LG gh22ns30 was first detected but when trying to access it just disappears, also from the device manager.
It reappears only after unplugging the power cord and replugging again.
Then, at the first access, same thing happens.
I already uninstall the driver and reboot. Vista detected the drive, reinstalled the driver, everything seems ok, but then, same thing happens when accessing.
Thanks for any hint.
If u are using vista then do not install any extra driver for any removable drive. In vista one cannot install any drivers other those already in its database. I hope your DVD drive is Vista compatible, otherwise it will behave the way you mentioned it..................sodeep

You can go to the control panel, then to device manager, click on disk drives. Make sure you have the right one and then delete it. Restart the computer and it should "find" it and install it, that is if it still works.
Make sure the software for this DVD drive is installed into the PC and then your drive is connected to be detected and installed, This will also remove off all previous drives that might cause errors.
This is another Vista issue that Microsoft has not fixed.
I have noticed alot of these includes the Optical drives.
So try this. It works for most people running Vista.
You need to edit your registry.
Click the Start button, click run, type in the window regedit than click OK Close any opened Keys.
Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; than open SYSTEM; next open CURRENTCONTROLSET; than open CONTROL; than open CLASS & find
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} listed in the right half of the window right click on LOWERFILTERS & left click delete, then right click on UPPERFILTERS & left click delete. Exit the registry, and reboot the laptop.
Hope this has helped.
sure..go to my computer..and see what disks are there?
if there are none, go to control panel, system device manager, and look at dvd drives and see that there is no marks on it(meaning that it's installed)
if not, remove that drive, click on actions/scan for hardware change, and go
