Right click the "My Computer" Icon and click "Explore" on the resulting

If the drive appears in the resulting "Windows Explorer" window, but

does not display the contents of a CD in the drive it MAY indicate a

hardware failure of the laser in the drive. Check to see if the drive is

listed with another letter, since CDs are often "D:" in systems with a

single hard drive. Sometimes drive letters change when external or

removable devices like digital cameras, camera memory chips, USB thumb

drives or external hard drives are added to the computer.



If the drive is not listed at all it MAY indicate one of the following:



Failure of the connection at either end of the two cables connecting a

typical internal CD drive to a tower computer system's motherboard.



Failure of the interface circuitry on the CD ROM drive.



Software problems that sometimes occur when some CD burner software is

uninstalled. Such software might have come with the CD burner to enhance

the use of the drive's CD burning capabilities, especially the use of

CD-RW disks like a slower, but removable, hard drive. Some publishers of

such software have utilities in the customer support section of their

web sites for correcting that particular problem. See Microsoft Help and

Support Article ID: 314060 "Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is

not recognized by Windows or other programs"

Responding to a three year old conversation in hopes that... uhm... what?

http://groups.google.com/group/micr....hardware/browse_frm/thread/4efd2ed27f0cecc1/

(No worries - looks like someone else waited 2.5 years...)



Why did you have a drive H? What was it (type of media?)



Why do you think you can stick something to your computer and it will just

open it? Is it magnetic? Velcro? Double-sided tape? Something else?

*grin*



What I am saying is that you hitched your horse to an old/dead conversation

and then merely changed the subject line and added some comments that really

did little to explain your situation in any accurate manner.



Help others help you.



Start button --> RUN

(no "RUN"? Press the "Windows Key" + R on your keyboard)

--> type in:

winver

--> Click OK.



The picture at the top of the window that opens will give you the general

(Operating System name and edition) while the line starting with the word

"version" will give you the rest of the story. Post _both_ in response

to this message verbatim. No paraphrasing - instead - ensure

character-for-character copying. That's the edition (in the top picture)

and the exact version number in detail (the 'version' line.)



What version of Internet Explorer are you currently using? Easy to find

out. Open Internet Explorer and while that is in-focus, press and hold

the "ALT" key on your keyboard. With the "ALT" key still pressed, press

(just once, no holding) the "H" key. Now, with the "ALT" key still

pressed, press (just once, no holding) the "A" key. That will bring up

the "About Internet Explorer" window. It will give you the exact version

you are using - repeat what you see there in response to this message.



How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or

64-bit version of the Windows operating system

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827218



What AntiVirus application are you using? (Name and exact version, please.)

- Was any flavor of "Norton" products ever installed?

- Was any flavor of "McAfee" products ever installed?



Do you have a third party firewall - or are you using the built-in Windows

firewall? (ZoneAlarm or part of some all-in-one suite you have installed?)



Do you ever run any antimalware applications? If so - which ones and when

did you scan with them last (full scan, not quick)? (Things like

SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes.)



What version (if any) of Microsoft Office are you running? XP, 2003, 2007?



What type of media/drive was/is this mysterious "Drive H"?
