Hello,
I have a problem about my disk driver:
My CD disk driver doesn't appear in the "my computer" window. when i noted that error, I checked in driver manager but it didn't show any error. Then i got an idea to restart the computer and the disk driver appeared for a short time and re-disappeared suddenly after 4minutes.
Is that a virus? Or is that a system problem? if it is a virus, i don't why my antivirus can't find it. I use AVG 8.00.
Plz help me.
In case u need to know, my OS is Windows Vista Premium.
My computer is HP Pavilion dv6000 and the CD disk driver is "FIJITSU MHW2120BH ATA Device".

AVG is not that great. To tell if it is a virus, try to boot off a bootable CD. If it works, then it is a virus, otherwise it is probably a bad drive or bad or loose cable.
