Pop up says doesnt detect dvd in rom

Hi:
If your DVD drive doesn't detect a DVD, or a CD disk, And the drive still shows up when you go to the "
my computer " page , it is most likely that the DVD drive is defective, There is not a simple software fix for this, and you need to shop for a new drive. A new DVD burner can be found for approx $40 at most stores.

Display Dvd Rom

Hello my friend, please try to reboot your computer then goto CMOS and check if the DVD Rom that you have is detected by your system. If it does not detect then you can manually detect a device using CMOS function. Also try to check if the connectivity of your DVD Rom is not diabled otherwise enable it to detect your device. If all the above steps you followed then the result is still the same then please find a computer technician in your place then let him open and fix the problem.

If you need more assistance my friend please reply to this post.

Thank you.
