My operating computer no longer shows my HP-DVD 64B, nor my Samsung DVD-ROM SD616E Optical Drives anymore.
I have checked my System and receive the message that the drivers are missing or are corrupted.
I can not use these drives to re-install the drives and using system recovery does not correct the problem.
I can not get the drivers from HP or Samsung and need help finding drivers that I can download.
Thanks for any help
Regards
Bill
