i have an asus pb5 deluxe motherboard and a nec 3500ag dvd rw
turned my computer on this morning and got an error message 'Detect drives done, any drives found'. this message was displayed before the windows loading screen, usually my drive name would be displayed in green writing.
hit the space bar and windows began to load, got into windows and the 'found new hardware' bubble appeared in the lower right. 'found standard dual pci ide controller'..... 'your new hardware is now installed and ready to use' the drive doesnt appear in my computer.
to get it working properly again i need to go into device manager and uninstall the device and then scan for hardware changes, restart windows and its back up and running
any ideas why this happened, it happened once last week but thought nothing of it. the dvd drive is, i *think*, about 4 years old, faulty mobo or drive?
