Disappearing CDRW?

iDadalex · 06-20-2003, 04:35 AM

I'm have a issue with my computer, my CDRW will just up and disappear from my computer, I mean physically its there but any recognition the computer has of it is gone, no Icon, cant open the door, nothing. But here is the wierd part, every now and then it comes back and I can use it for a couple days then it leaves again. I'm using WINXP Pro. Its a Old CDRW and I should just get a new one but I'm curious why this happens.

It comes to work for a week then leaves on a extended vaction for awhile. Hmmm

Thanks in Advance for any Advice.
