Hi, I am new to the post but have a question about a dell latitude laptop. It is rather old but is running Win XP and required a format secondary to a virus I couldn't eliminate. I re-installed XP and all was well until I tried to use the CD drive, it doesn't read any CD I try. Under My Computer it only lists the hard drive, no external drive nor is it listed in Device Manager. I looked in the Bios and it has "not installed" under other drives, when I try to highlight this line to try to install the drive, it skips over it and goes back to the top. Could a virus have caused some changes like this in the bios? How do I get this drive to work again? Obviously it worked once because I re-installed my XP. I took the drive out and put it back in b ut no "new harware found" message and it still didn't work. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
