try mo to baka upper and lower filters lng yan sa registry

1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
* SYSTEM
* CurrentControlSet
* Control
* Class
* {4D36E965-E325-11CE-
BFC1-08002BE10318}

4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

* UpperFilters
* LowerFilters
* UpperFilters.bak
* LowerFilters.bak

5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
7) Reboot your computer
Open My Computer and check to see if your CD or DVD drives have returned. You may also want to open Device Manager and verify that the yellow exclamation and error code on the CD or DVD drive is gone

Suggestion lang sir,
tignan mo kung may power yung DVD-ROM. Kung meron check bios setup, baka na-disable. 

[bodieph]

ganun usually ang mga laptop. pag hindi mo nilagyan ng DVD ang DVD drive, hindi lalabas sa my computer yun. power saving feature yan eh. para hindi active yung DVD rom, so it wont eat power from the battery.

pero kahit ba hindi madetect ng my computer mo, pwede maopen? meaning bumubukas ba pag pindot mo dun sa eject na button? if yes, then nothing to worry about. just insert a DVD or CD sa drive, then observe if windows will now detect your DVD rom.

ganito sa mga ibang laptop. example yung nahawakan kong acer 4736z nung isang araw. hindi lumalabas sa my computer yung icon ng DVD rom pero pag naglagay ka na ng DVD sa loob, mag read na siya at lalabas na yung icon

[astigmaniac]

huhuhu.. sinubukan ko po ser bodieph, kaso wala padin.. bumubukas xa pag nag scan ako ng device sa device manager, kasi kung pinipindot ko lang ayaw magbukas kaagad.. naiilaw nmn xa, kaso wala padin ung icon sa My Computer..

ung sa  bios nmn di ko mahanap ung mga drives.. kaya dko makita kung naka disable xa.. tsaka dko nmn pinapakialaman ung bios dati eh, kasi dati ok nmn etong dvdrom ng laptop..

gano na katagal tong optical drive mo?

try this. it might help

1. Open new Notepad file by clicking Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Notepad,

2. Now after you created new notepad file inside him paste below code:

Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next

Dim WshShell, Message

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\UpperFilters"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\LowerFilters"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K\"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k\"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf\"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr\"
Set WshShell = Nothing

Message = "Your CD/DVD-Rom drives should now appear in Windows Explorer." & vbCR
Message = Message & "You may need to reboot your computer to see the change."

MsgBox Message, 4096,"Finished!"


3. Now click File --> Save As --> name it CD_DVD.VBS (do not forget .VBS extension) and save it on your desktop.

4. After you saved that file double click on him from your desktop. Now you CD/DVD drive should show up. If he is still not visible then restart your computer so changes take effect
