I lost my D drive, plz help

i try 3 disk already, none of them are working, but it work on mt bro's computer

Do you know how to open your computer case?

yes

Well pop her open and make sure all the connectors to the back of your CD drive are nice and snug in their slots.

my bro did that for me already

And reboot your comp. Since you dont have the CD drive catagory, Meaning your computer isnt finding the drive once you hit desktop your computer should say new hardware found or somthing like that

Oh, Well then try you CD drive in his computer and see if the computer finds it. If i doesnt then your CD drive could possibly be dead.

i just reboot my comp, but it didn't say anything.

Try throwing it in your bros like i stated above.

my bros is not here not, i can't unlock his comp

Years later... I just did some Windows updates. I haven't done them for a year. Suddenly my computer can't find my CD drive either. I have a Dell. Did your computer ever find your CD-drive? If so, what did you do... if you recall?

This is a common XP problem usually associated with the removal of CD/DVD burning software such as NERO, etc., however it can happen for other reasons. This solution works in both XP & VISTA:

Click Start,
Click 'Run,'
Then type in 'regedit' and click OK.
Expand 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,' (expand = clicking small +)
Expand 'System,'
Expand 'Current control Set,'
Expand 'Control,'
Expand 'Class.'
You must then look down the series of values and find the one that it's first set ends in 965. Here is mine for example:
{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFCI-08002BE10318}
Click this once. You will see a list open to it's right. In that list you are looking for the UPPER FILTERS, & LOWER FILTERS.
Right click and delete each of these.
Close regedit and restart your system. You will have your D Drive back.

I must state this !!!WARNING!!! before closing. Follow this carefully and be careful in regedit!!!

If you run into any snags post them.

Good luck!
