cd/dvd rom player doesnt show up on computer

for sum reason no cd/dvd drive appears in my computer is there any way to fix it? i cant burn or use anything

Could you go into device manager and double check it's enabled

device manager can be found in control panel

its enabled but has a yellow questionmark

TRY THIS:

right click the drive in device manager,
then properties -> Driver tab
the try Update driver

if that does not work try 'Roll back driver'

could you tell me the make and model of the Drive

didnt work this is the name of it "PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S ATA DEVICE"
IT SAY THAT IT COULDNT START BECAUSE its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged.

PROVIDER:MICROSOFT
DRIVER DATE:6/21/2006
DRIVER VERSION:6.0.6001.18000
DIGITAL SIGNER:MICROSOFT WINDOWS

Sorry took so long replying, there was like a festival thing in my town over the weekend, so i was there

in Device manager right click the drive then Click Uninstall, once its uninstalled then click Scan for hardware changes to load a usable driver.
Restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then select Last Known Good Configuration. This rolls back to the most recent successful registry configuration.

it didnt work

Is the CD/DVD drive new, or the Computer new.

When has the last time it was working?

When you stated the error message did you notice a error code?

if the message has either (code 32) (Code 31) (Code 19) (Code 41) (Code 39)

could you download and run this please
