    Hi Steve! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

    I understand you have an issue regarding your CD drive not being detected in Windows 11. To better assist you, could you please provide a bit more information:

    1. Do you know the brand and model of your CD drive?
    2. Is the CD drive connected internally to your PC or is it an external drive?
    3. Have you made any recent changes to your computer system? For example, hardware upgrades, new software installations, or updates?
    4. Are there any error messages when you attempt to use the CD drive?
    5. Have you checked the Device Manager to see if the CD drive is listed there, and if so, does it show any errors?
    6. Have you checked if this CD drive works on another PC?

    Once I have a bit more information, I will be able to provide more targeted assistance. Best regards,

    HP Super Multi DVD Writer, Model: GUD1N. DVD player and iTunes say no drive detected. In device manager it shows cd-rom drive but no details. I don'thave another PC to test it on. Also at times it doesn't even eject. And finally I've only installed windows updates
