I got a big problem, recently like 2 months ago I bought an LG External DVD Burner, I got a big problem, today I turned the computer on, and the Device is not in the computer anymore, it was F:, like you know the floppy disk drive is A and all that, well it's not there anymore, the only that is there is the Floppy Disk one and the old DVD Burner that I used to use which was Internal, but my LG one and also the DVD Reader one is gone, I did everything I can think of, remove the USB Cable and put it back to see if it recognizes, and now I am trying to uninstall and reinstall but even when I put it, it reads it but it doesn't show computer, I don't know what is going, I don't know what's wrong, I need help please

Elboricua, try a system restore if your using xp. Restore back to a date you know for sure everything was running correctly. Sounds like windows threw a driver or file out of whack, especially if this happened suddenly.
God Luck.........Oils well thats ends well. -
Do I have to use the cd for that?Comment

No, click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, then System Restore and pick a date that you know things were working properly to restore it to.Comment

Check all your cables again.
Make sure you check your IDE cable to make sure it plugged in securely.Comment

1. try UNcasMS's suggestion
2. unplug all other non essential usb devices
3. try the burner in every usb port
4. check device manager and make sure you are using the default
