In the beginning of March I removed HP Printer drivers. A day or two later I noticed that my dvd drive wasn't working. I think if I had used System Restore to that point this problem would not exist. (I thought this was a hardware problem.)
Windows recognizes the drive - it shows up in device manager (but it says dvd-ram) and when I boot the computer it shows as a drive to boot with... but it does not work.
I've used a couple of MS Fix-its which don't fix it. I ran sfc /scannow and checkdisk and they show no problem. I think Windows thinks this drive is fine.
I think removing all of those HP drivers messed up my dvd. (I bought a slow external dvd/rw drive (usb) but that doesn't show up regarding booting the computer.
Here's some screenshots (I also posted in the Computer Hardware Help forum in March).
Can this be fixed? (I guess it will be okay until I need to boot a disk.)
EDIT: I just looked in the Event Viewer (Applications) and found I'd guess at least 40 MSI Installer entries and Restart Manager entries relating to this.
Sincerely, Libra
