I've had a CD-RW drive installed and working perfectly on my computer until a couple days ago when I noticed my computer would stall on startup with the message "Veridying DMI Pool Data.... Boot from ATAPI CDROM:"
If I shut down and started it again it would work. It took me a little while to realize that my CD-RW drive wasn't working. It's like my computer doesn't even think it is there anymore. The lights wont turn on and I can't get it to open or close. When I click on My Computer is doesn't show up (it used to be drive E: ).
Is this the end of my CD-RW drive? Should I consider getting a new one or is it a problem with something else? I checked all the cables inside the computer and everything is all still connected fine--so my guess is that the CD-RW has crapped out on me.
Any help?
Thanks!
