So after installing a few new fans the other day, I've been having the weirdest problem with my DVD drive. From a cold start, I'll boot into vista and the drive won't be there. Even if I put in a new DVD, it won't show up. But if I go into device manager and scan for hardware changes, it'll come up and work just fine. Any ideas?
When I first noticed the problem, it seemed like the power plug was a bit loose and wasn't connected to all contacts on the drive. After making sure all the cables were flush, I still have the problem.
It's a Memorex DVD+RAM 510L v. 1, PATA drive.
 
I had a similar problem. The only solution that i could come up with was to get a new DVD drive.
