My cd/dvd drive is missing in Bios and winXP device manager. Both drives will open, but they can't read anything. They were both working fine until I had to replace my motherboard. Everything else is working except for the cd/dvd drives.
I have tried several things with no help. I went in registry and removed upper and lowerfields, and I have uninstalled all burning programs.

A strange thing is, the drive letters are skipping, for instance, I have c, and f drives, so it is skipping my d and e drives, which is my cd and dvd drives?

This is a dell dimension 8250, winxp pro. DVD is a LG, cd drive is Hitachi-lg

I sure hope someone can help me with this...

Thanks,
