For some reason, my laptop is choosing to not read my disc drive. I have absolutely no idea why, but when I try to play a cd, I get this;
"A disc drive is needed to play cds"
Thing is, it's always worked before, and I know that I haven't gone on a random fit of uninstalling things again. And my disc drive is still, you know, there. So I'm at a loss. Why is it doing this, and how can I get it to read my disc drive again? ARGH! Please help meeee!!
I'll restart and see if that works, then edit in the results...
EDIT: No, it's still not working. I put in a cd and it whirred for a bit, but when I tried to play it in windows media, it came up with the same message again. Also, it doesn't show up next to the hard drive in My Computer. I'm confuuused!!
