My CdRom is not working, does anyone know what I need to do to fix it? I have an HP Pavillion with Windows XP.
Answers:
Cd roms are easy just swap it with another and restart your computer will do the rest. It may just be dirty
There's many possibilities with your problem you're asking. Firstly, you should check from device manager in control panel, is it installed? If no cd rom device listed, then you should check the cables, both power and data cable. If the cables are connected and listed in device manager, may be you should replace with the other cd rom drive. I hope my answer could help.
