 * Windows 7 cannot find my DVD drive **

In some cases, changing the drive letter works to restore the DVD drive in Explorer. To do that, in Disk Manager right click the DVD drive and select **Change drive letter and paths**. Click the **Change** button and assign it a different letter. You might have to reboot before it will appear in Explorer. You can then change the letter back if you need it to be identified by a particular letter. If this doesn't work, you might try this registry edit: Here implement my tip on the Registry first.

In the registry editor, navigate to //HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class.// Delete two items in the right pane: UpperFilters and LowerFilters (you don't have to delete UpperFilter.bak and LowerFilters.bak).

Reboot and see if that makes the drive show up. .
