Latest Windows 7 update has stolen my dvd drive!!
After the latest Windows 7 security update my DVD Drive is no longer recognised. It only reappears when I restore my system to a date earlier than the latest update. The laptop eventually reinstalls the latest update once again and once again my DVD drive goes AWOL.
DVD type - HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T40N ATA DEVICE
Driver- Microsoft 21/06/2006
version 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)
I am getting damned annoyed with this one. Having paid good money for the latest operating system, having previously been an XP stalwart, the system meticulously downloads all the latest drivers and security updates only to play funny buggers with my DVD Drive. One accepts the occassional issue with hardware and viruses but when a legitimate download causes problems, especially when it has performed faultlessly previously it does dent the accumulated confidence that had built up with Windows 7.
So Boys and Girls what do you think??
