Cannot see external DVD Writer in My Computer

Comment:

I have an External DVD WRITER,for my laptop,but when I connect it to the USB port,I'm not able to see it in My computer icon on my desktop,when I open it,although it appears in the Safely Remove program on my taskbar.In the User's manual,it tells me,if I don't see the new drive in"My Computer",that I should restart te computer in CMOS,in "CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP" or "NTEGRATED PERIPHERALS",change"On Chip USB"to enabled,saved and restary compuer.Will anybody please be so kind to explain,what it exactly means and how I have to approach this.In detail please and I'll be so grateful! Thanks in advance1 Matthew. Matthew P Ebien-Pesa
