Do you have alcohol 120 installed as that has created problems for me in the past with it hiding my physical drive and only seeing my emulated one.

Hi,

Can you check whether you Disc Drive is well connected ? to check the device :

Right click on my Computer
Select Properties
Hardware devices
Device Manage :
Check your Dvd/cd drives.. whether everything is connected.

If not try re-installing the device or to update it.

Well i have solved this problem . My bro played a joke with me and he removed the assigned drive letter for the partition and as i went to disk management and assigned the drive letter its visible back. Thanks for the all your helps. Really appreciate all help. Thanks again.
