Lost Local Disc E Help Please

Teresa · External Since: Feb 11, 2005 Posts: 29

I have been trying to view my pictures on my cd and cannot do it. In fact, I
cannot open anything I stick into my computer. I think I figured it out, I
don't have a disc e anymore???????????

I am VERY computer illiterate, but was wondering if somebody could walk me
thru getting it back on. Thanks so much,

Teresa

Right click the "My Computer" Icon and click "Explore" on the resulting
context menu.

If the drive appears in the resulting "Windows Explorer" window, but
doesn't 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 isn't 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"
