    • If the drive is missing it will not be in the device manager.

      Ts must update and locate the hardware there.

       

      After that the case should be solved

      Go to the hardware tab and click on device manager

      Click on Actions and scan for hardware changes.

    • If the above steps can't work, do this.

      1. Click Start, then Run, then enter REGEDIT to open the Registry Editor
      2. Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class entry
      3. Under the Class entry, double click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
      4. In the right-hand pane, click ONCE to select the UpperFilters entry
      5. Make sure the UpperFilters entry is highlighted, press Delete, then Yes.
      6. In the right-hand pane, click ONCE to select the LowerFilters entry
      7. Make sure the LowerFilters entry is highlighted, press Delete, then Yes.
      8. Close the Registry Editor by clicking File, Exit.
