I am a new user and its nice to meet everyone. I have a Gateway computer. My CD-ROM drive is not listed under my drivers list in my control panel area and i don't know why???? My CD-ROM drive does not boot up at all when up when I put a CD in the drive. If anyone can help me fix this problem that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone for their help.

Was your CD drive working before and now has disappeared?

Windows usually finds the CDRom Drive "automatically" and loads everything that's needed to allow it to work. Since you said that you can put a CD in the drive there should be power going to it. You might have a loose cable. When you start the computer the installed components are often listed on the screen although some companies put up a logo screen so you can't see everything. When you turn on the computer is there a list of installed items like how much memory you have, IDE drives installed, keyboard etc. ? If so we can look to see if your CD drive is listed there.
