are you getting power to it?

If so, then maybe unplug and then re-attach the cables...sometimes that will do it.

I am surprised that by re-attching it that it does not recognize the "original" hardware.

dell should have it on their website, no?

Failing that, then see if it shows up under my computer on the desktop or better yet, under your device manager when you right click on my computer.

Do you see a yellow exclamation mark beside your DVD drive? SOmetimes you can roll back a driver there.

did you try richt clicking on the DVD drive in yoru device manager and either troubleshooting it or rolling back the driver?

Sometimes when you disable and then enable it, it reads it again?

Just trying to help...

good luck. Like I said, try disabling it and then enabling it, then a reboot...

maybe it will help?

Good luck. Someone smarter than me will have to help you more than I can.

I had a similar problem with my Lite-On CDRW/DVD combo drive. I finally figured out that it was the drive..
