Do You have any bootable(like Operating CD, Linux Live CD etc) CD or DVD... You can try booting from CD or DVD.to boot from CD you need to restart computer enter to your BIOS an dchange your first boot device to CD or DVD.
If those CD or DVD are booting then there is no problem with your Drive, it can be becuase of windows.
now if still you have same problem then try to get one DVD Lance cleaner and try cleaning your Drive's Lance.

SOURCE: Acer Aspire cd/dvd/rw drive 'missing'

Go to device manager and look for the dvd/cd on the list. Click on the "+" sign and you may have a yellow, red or black symbol. right-click on the device and reinstall the driver. That should get it working again. If not then try the troubleshooting in the device manager, same place you reinstall the driver. Follow the instructions. If none of that works then it needs to be replaced.

Pls rate this solution.

I have Acer travelmate 4010 laptop >>>

Download a copy of Hiren's Boot CD from here and burn it on a disc: http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/
Upon start up you will get a menu similar to this one:

mariolands.png
Under advanced boot options boot from the one that suits your operatin system (XP or Vista or Windows 7). If it loads it means the bootmgr is corrupt, you can try to repair it with the Windows installation disc, instead of Install choose Repair.

Now, regarding the BIOS password, you will have to select Dos Boot CD and go to BIOS/CMOS menu and run Kill CMOS to wipe the BIOS completely or there are some utilities there that can reset just password. There re some other options too for reseting the password that you can read about here: http://www.fixya.com/support/r7229632-reset_or_remove_bios_password

Advent K4000 CD/DVD Drive Wont load the disc...says no disc present

What are you doing with it? Trying to record a CD? I don't know why, but that happens sometimes when trying to burn a CD, no matter what you do. Try being sure the tray is shut good, open & close it again, and if that isn't it, then try a different disk. A few days ago, I had an expensive disk that just didn't get found in mine, & nothing helped but a different disk. Then no problem. Hope it's not your last 1. :) If those things don't help, come back and ask more, & tell us what you tried, please. More info= better answer. :)

Dvd disc is not working

You likely do not have a DVD-Rom. Check the front of the DVD and be sure that it says DVD-ROM on it. If it does not you may consider contacting Acer to upgrade it.
