Afternoon all , the dvd writer icon in my computer is now missing , it was ok . The cables seem to be in right , when I start and go in settings . In the BOOT menu there is a Dvd -Rom drive listed , so I think it's the Logo in My computer that's missing . I don't know how that could have or should have happened though . Thank you .

The drive is present. What it says in 'This Computer' depends on what disc you have in the drive. From the picture it looks like you have a DVD-R disc in the drive

I guess I misunderstood the issue. You're saying you can't write?

NettleWarbler … access the "spoiler" web-page below … read the whole page, including comments (bottom of page). if you feel up to trying one of the solutions … you might first create system-restore-point … in case things run amok.
