    Cool. Thanks SIW2. I see I have the original SB00 and there is a newer SB01. Now, how do I flash it? Is it just a matter of downloading the .exe from FirmwareHQ and running it?

    also noticed that it is showing as SCSI in the HW properties, which I don't recall it being SCSI - it has been a long time since I bought the system.

    DVD drive missing from 'THIS PC'

    So, I flashed the firmware on the drive and it shows the same as above but with SB01 now in the details. Still not showing up in THIS PC. I am wondering if something is wrong in the BIOS? It seems odd to me that it is SCSI instead of IDE in the details for the Hardware Ids. Just not sure if there is any hope for this drive at this point.

    Try this:

    Command Prompt (Admin):

    reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    Then press Enter, then reboot.

    (You can copy and paste the command from above)

    I believe that I did that manually but will repeat and reboot.

    DVD drive missing from 'THIS PC'

    No Just requires opening the drive tray and removing any disk media. The Laser is clearly visible.

    Have you tried uninstalling all of IDE ATA contollers and reinstalling them. Open Device Manager expand IDE ATA/ATPI controllers, right click on each controller listed and reboot the PC and let Windows reinstall. BTW looking at your Device Manager you appear to have a few controllers missing from the list.

    Yes, I have tried uninstalling both the DVD/CD-ROM drives and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers from device manager and rebooting. Not sure which controllers you are suggesting are missing. Also cleaned the laser.
