How to i get my pc to recognise my drive as dvd and not just cd?

Forum General UK & Ireland Discussions : How to i get my pc to recognise my drive as dvd and not just cd?

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
My CD/DVD drive stopped working! We installed a new one and the same problem. Basically it shows up in my Computer as a CD drive only and not a DVD writer as it is! It is supposed to be plug and play, but obviously the problem was there before. Can anyone help me to get the pc to recognise the drive as DVD and not just CD? Many thanks!
