CD/DVD ROMs Unavailble
May 27, 2008
First, my question is to the MVPs in this NG and any NG for that matter. When a user comes to this group with an issue do you confirm that it is a problem and report it to MS Tech Support, or whatever the proper department is? There is a known issue starting with beta 2 that: "CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive appears to be missing after you install Windows XP or Vista Beta 2". I'm just wondering if this has been reported to MS that it still exist? It seems like when ever you install a problem that uses your CD/DVD-ROM drive, they disappear and you have to use the steps in Article ID:320553 to get then back. Or is the something we are going to have to live with as long as we use Vista? This issue exist with or without SP1!

Since installing SP1, my 2 dvd roms are not visible in Vista. I am dual booting. They are visible and functional in the XP installation. I have tried different SATA ports on the mother board and flashed bios but no joy. Any suggestions from this group before I roll back? I am running Vista Ultimate.

Paid a lot for hardware (plenty of disk space and memory) and Windows Vista Ultimate but got very bad experience:
(1) Backup software does not work properly. Always failed with error after burning many DVD-ROMs.
(2) Whenever there is a problem, Vista tries to find solution online, but 10 out of 10 times it found no solution (The function is completely useless but make user more frustrated).
(3) It lags when playing online game (WoW) and have to log out every 5 to 10 minutes. Tried the performance tools to boost the Experience Index Base Score but nothing change. No recommendation or improvement..............................
