Here I am again begging for help. I am running XP SP3 and Chrome as my browser:
My Lite-on LH20a1P DVD/RW snapped it's belt and before I had the sense to come back here, I purchased another identical used unit off ebay. I did the removal and installed the replacement (all by myself) but when I powered on again, my desktop with XP lost all memory of the drive. Actually, Drive "D" is now gone but I inherited a drive "G" somehow. I looked in device manager and only see a showing of Drive A (floppy) C (Local) E (DVD Drive), F (local) and G (removable disc). Drive E plays fine but Drive G (or formerly D?) is like a dead horse. I inserted a game disc in G, clicked on drive "G" in my computer and it said to install a disc. I did it again (per computer's request) and nothing. I also checked for drivers installed and there (now) is no DVD/RW anywhere to be found.
Again, I have spent 2 1/2 days of Sr. moments before I flashed back to the tech support guys! Can anyone help?
Thanks all!
Alan
