    Disappeared laptop CD/DVD driver?

    My CD/DVD drive(r) has completely disappeared from my laptop. I have no idea why this has happened and I haven't done anything unusual recently that could cause it. The DVD drive no longer shows up in windows 'My Computer'.

    The green light on the DVD drive no longer lights up and whenever I press the 'eject' button for a short period my computer switches off.

    Does anyone know where I can download a driver to reinstall it? (I think the drive is made by toshiba and the laptop is an Acer.)

    Thank you!
    If it helps - in the 'hardware' section of my computer it says:

    SCSI/RAID Host Controller
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. (I've tried this - it does nothing)

    This is most likely not a software issue(drivers) but rather a hardware issue, but what you describe I think your Dvd Drive is creating a short circuit on your motherboard.

    Best is to take it to a I.T Techy
