My CD/DVD player are not showing on Media player (nor my computer on the start menu).as connected. I have this computer since March this year and it was working just fine, but recently they are both missing. I tried 2 new drives but the message is the same.

"I tried 2 new drives but the message is the same." Is it a secret, or do you want to share what it is? it may help towards a solution. What happens when you insert a cd? can you read it?
