• Laptop disc drive not being detected

A while back, my disc drive on my laptop just up and quit working. It won't read any CD's, and if I go to My Computer, all I see is C drive. Does anyone have any ideas?
i have had this problem before. It might be a problem with windows or it could be physical, one way to check it to make an ubuntu live disk on another computer and stick it in your cd drive and start up your laptop.
I've had this problem once, [code]REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}] "UpperFilters"=- "LowerFilters"=- [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdudf] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UdfReadr][/code] save that as [insertnamehere].reg, run it, then restart

I'm not 100% sure I can trust a random code online.
I'm fairly sure that only removes some services' registry keys. Don't think it's malicious.
The code didn't work.
