hi, i would relly appreciate some help. my drive failed for no apparent reason, its a NEC ND-6650A. ive tried uninstaling re-instaling, a new driver which won't load as it say's that the drive is not found correctly. ive also cleaned the lower and upper registrys, and uninstaled all ports which all reinstaled fine except the DVD drive. Dell send me a new drive as they were stumped as to what the problem could be, but even a brand new drive does'nt work?????. i instaled a new BIOS which does recognize the drive, but windows simply wont. thanks in advance!
