im trying to figure that out my self sorry!
no. A CD drive you put CDs in. The C Drive is Most of your Computer Memory. Depending on what CD driver you have it may be able to play dvds also.
Try reinstalling the driver for the CD drive
No and yes. Windows XP includes a generic driver capable of supporting virtually all CD drives. There is no driver specific to CD burners, nor is one necessary. The commands to write to a CD can be sent through the standard driver to the drive.
There is dvd drive under driver seat
CD drives are supported via a class driver; the operating system does not care what speed the drive is.
If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''read''' it, You need: * a CD-ROM drive, either an internal drive (IDE or EIDE, goes inside the computer), or USB drive (external, goes outside the computer). * driver software, which either your computer will automatically install, or will be provided with the CD-ROM drive that you purchase. If by "''work''" a CD-ROM you mean '''write''' it, You need: * a CD-R or CD-RW drive (which is capable or writing or ''burning'' CD-R disks or CD-RW disks) * driver software (see above) * blank media (a stack of blank CD-R or CD-RW disks) * CD-writer software, like Nero (http://ww2.nero.com/us/index.html) or something else--often, this software comes with your CD-writer.
If you have sound card driver CD-ROM, CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive first. Right-click 'My Computer'---- properties ---- ---- hardware ---- Double-click Device Manager? (!) Device (sound card) ---- Click on the 're-install the driver'---- select' only this time 'and click' Next'---- select 'CD-ROM drive' and click 'Next' ---- start Installation to complete the installation. If the sound card driver is missing, your personal computer's sound equipment will not work.
honestly, its better to replace the whole CD Rom drive.if you have the time to put into it, you can replace it yourself (or repair it with Superglue?if you have the time and energy. it IS a complicated thing to do, so you'd have to find a manual online on how to disassemble the CD Rom drive.
If the drive that you have removed is an IDEE drive, and you replace it with an IDEE drive, yes. If you replace it with a SATA drive, you will probably have to go into the 'setup' routine and reconfigure the CMOS options. If the new drive came with instructions, read them and do what they say.
Your question could mean a variety of things. Will read CDs but not DVDs: This means that your driver is not installed. Depending on your computer you will need to go to there site search your model number and download your CD/DVD Driver. Will not open: This means your CD/DVD Drive is either A: Broken B: One of the cables is not connected correctly from your computer to your CD/DVD Drive. Hope this helped
If you have the driver discs for both this will usually fix the problem, you will need the soundcard drivers and the CD-Rom you may need to update the driver, right click on CD-Rom, go to properties, and you will see the update driver button....
Not necessarily. You can have a CD/DVD reading drive that does not write.
