I have a gateway LX6810-01 PC Desktop that i formated few weeks back. It has genuine vista licence # that came with computer. Now whenever i try to instal OS , I get message "CD DVD drive Driver missing". I tried to install drivers that i downloaded from GATEWAY site but it don't recognize. Any one has answer or suggestion for this?

SOURCE: Gateway Pen Drive .... not recognized on Windows XP

@rickyostrom: If the drivers is not present then there would be a pop up to say that the hardware connected is malfunctioning... the user is saying his device is not being recognised... i dont think the usb protocol is the reason of the problem...

1) Go to Control Panel. Open the System Icon.
2( Click on Hardware Tab, then click on Device Manager.
3) The device manager will list all of your hardware that is on your computer.If you see a yellow? mark oryellow ! mark next to your DVD/CD rom drive,simply click on it then click Repair. It also may tell you that it is not recognozied. Follow the directions.
4) If you do not see this in your Device Manager go to Add Hardware in your Control Panel which is next to your Add/Remove Programs icon. Click on Add Hardware and it will scan for all hardware.
** This should take care of your problem.If not then somehow the actual connection in your tower has come loose. If so you must open your tower and look for a loose wire going to your DVD/CD rom drive.
*** Please let me know if this corrects your problem.Simply email me(Phil) at: [email protected]
