My cdr all of a sudden is missing both in my computer and device manager.The
light for the cdr drive blinks continually. Tried opening door with paper
clip to no avail. Any suggestions on how to open the door or restore the
drive?
 
Restore Missing CD Drive

[[The popular CDGONE patch. CD drives may vanish in Windows Explorer, Device
Manager, etc. if a third-party CD-burning package has been uninstalled and
Registry references for some code modules aren’t removed successfully. This
patch and a reboot usually will restore the missing drives. Any third
party package still required will then have to be re-installed. ]]
