Missing dvd's

[yogi55]

Yep!,we are are our own worst enemy.
wanted to upgrade to win 7 64bit os.Moved what was non essental to other drive to try and ensure I would not delete them. installed 2 more gig's of identical memory (total now of 4 gig's).after boot up system see's new memory but DVD's are missing from system.Have tried to go online to see if "upgrade " would help but it failed to find or install drivers.Found one driver for one DVD player.but can't get windows to access it.It see's it as a CD drive.Would wipe C:\ and reinstall win7 64 bit,but need DVD to install os.Bios see's drives, but not sure if they would work as DVD drives.
and yes have checked all connections, thrice.

See this article, but they really should take someone out behind the woodshed in Redmond, what idiot came up with this driver signing and then let's rootkits in the back door with the master boot record.

What a rip off when I worked there, they were charging $139. I am so glad that I don't work there any more.
